The following day Maya was still slumbering, worn out from the prior evening and still oblivious to the knowledge that she had precisely destroyed the Burden One who had harmed her brother; oh, how that success was going to be rubbed in his face.
Her roommates, although they had to wake her up for Queen Luna's speech, let her recover anyway, partly with the assent of Mrs Dowling, who was expecting the visit of her parents.
Although Silva and Lark were recuperating, the threat of the Burned Ones had not been eradicated, and it was far from a victory, as the war loomed even more imminent; they may have killed two, but there were plenty more out there to slay.

Her vision was still tarnished so it was fiddly for her to make out the four figures in front of her, rubbing her eyes from the harsh lighting.

Maya was thrown off by the straightforwardness of the request, and Terra didn't even give her time to react as she enveloped her in a large bear hug, the other girls shortly following suit.
