At Southeast Aciatic…

Lina, unable to sleep, tossed and turned in bed. She considered making a phone call to find out what was going on. The image of Zuko and Dave locking eyes replayed in her mind, causing her to burst into laughter.

Suddenly, there was a knock on her door. Startled, Lina approached quietly and peeked through the peephole. To her surprise, it was Gia.

“Lina, are you awake?”

Lina hesitated for a moment before deciding to open the door.

Gia looked into her eyes and gave a weak smile. “Lina, can we have a proper talk?”

Lina remained silent, sensing that Gia had changed. People would change, and she didn’t hold it against Gia, but she wanted to know the reason.

Gia continued cautiously. “Lina, let’s find a quiet place to talk, okay?”

“Let’s just stay here,” Lina replied, leaning against the door frame, not inviting her in or showing any desire to accompany her. A few words would suffice to clarify things.

Gia looked around hesitantly. “But this place…”

“It’s quiet here,” Lina stated with an expressionless face. “Not many people pass by in the corridor, so no one will overhear our conversation. Besides, I was about to go to sleep and don’t want to go too far.”
