Slowly waking on the sofa, Jonas felt more refreshed than ever.
He hadn't really done anything bad. He had simply increased Zero's sensitivity bit by bit, then restored her strength.
Zero's physical capabilities had returned to normal, but the instant she got out of bed, her whole body felt wrong. She had been fine during **, but as her clothes kept brushing against her body, even the slightest touch turned her skin red.
Meanwhile, he had simply ambled over to the farthest corner of the room and promised Zero that if she could reach him within one minute, he would let her return to Dorothy.
Mr. Jonas might have been a scumbag, but he was always happy to keep his word with certain people. If Zero could reach him, he really would let her go back.
Unfortunately, before she had even made it halfway, the entire room had gained a dampness attribute. Add a little electrical leakage, and it could conduct electricity on the spot.
Under Zero's murderous gaze, Jonas dispelled the Dream and returned to his body. As soon as he opened his eyes, messages came through on his communicator.
The message from an hour ago was from Esnie, asking how she should handle Zero. Her latest message, sent two minutes ago, sounded faintly worried, asking whether something had happened since he hadn't replied for so long.
Jonas considered it, then decided against messaging Esnie and called her directly instead.
Esnie answered very quickly.
"Esnie, I'm fine. I just got a little tired while dealing with things and took a short nap. Everything all right on your end?"
Jonas believed he understood Esnie fairly well. If he went much longer without replying, she would probably tear down the Office door to check whether he was safe.
Yes, with Celine
