Barclay was on a business trip, and Moira breathed a sigh of relief.

She'd been avoiding him for days and felt a bit awkward about it. Now that Barclay was away, she could finally stop dodging him.

But Moira's relief didn't last long. On the fourth day of Barclay's trip, she found herself alone in the vast mansion at night, feeling strangely uncomfortable.

She couldn't even focus on her usual bedtime games, just staring at her phone.

It wasn't until she received a message from Juliet that Moira snapped out of it.

Juliet: [Hey, darling, up for a weekend hangout?]

Moira was stunned and realized it was already Friday!

Time flew, but why hadn't Barclay returned yet?

As she pondered this, her fingers seemed to act on their own, typing out a response to Juliet in the next instant.

Juliet: [Are you seriously thinking about Barclay right now?]

Juliet: [Well, I guess it's only natural! But I didn't expect you to be this fixated, and telling me about it! Isn't that a bit too much, Moira?]
