Part 20 — I Don't Know What To Feel

Xin failed to catch the knife slipping out of her pocket. It rattled as it hit the ground. Zap picked it up and pocketed it. "Xin—"

Xin furiously started spamming "Azyra" with messages. Who is this? Why do you have her phone? What do you want to do? Why do you even need it? Huh? Huh? Zap looked over her shoulder. "Xin...I think you need to stop."
