20 Meimi
Not sure how long I spend in the lab. It’s hard to track clocks in the Underground. Time also gets slippery when you’re trying to keep Zoe and Chloe loaded onto a single train of thought.
And yes, I keep staring at the lab door.
Thorne still hasn’t returned from escorting the Scythe out of the building. Whenever that was.
By the time we decide to quit the lab, it’s close to midnight. As I approach my dorm room, I notice a light gleaming from under the door. My pulse speeds up. Maybe Thorne has come back at last.
After the talk in the lab, he and I have tons to discuss, starting with the fact that I’ve adjusted to the idea of him being an alien. I’m smiling when I pull open my door. What I see inside isn’t Thorne, though.
It’s Godwin, Luci, and Josiah.
