Lily didn't make any eye contact with them, knowing that she couldn't lie at all. 

"Just tell us the truth, Lily. We have to go to a camp for team building, but you can't even tell the truth to us. Isn't trust one of the most important things we should have as a team." Mark said to her.

The three siblings left the room, but before that Sapphire went to her. 

"You can do it. I just read all the information and by the look of it they can be trusted." She quietly said to her with a small smile.

Now the four friends were just alone in the room. After a few seconds, Lily went to a cabinet and took a book from it. 

"Well?" She asked them, but they just looked confused. "I thought that you would like the secret, so sit down." She went to sit on a sofa in the corner and the three went to sit next to her with Lily in the middle.

"Wait before you tell...Can I just asked something?" Mark asked.

"Yeah, sure."

"What is it with you and a kitsune?" He asked while looking at her plushie.

"It's my protector animal. It's like a spirit animal with which you have a really special connection." 

"Like what?"

"I can talk to him and we make each other stronger."

"With a plushie?"

"No, with a real kitsune and his name is Nobu." She replied with a small smile.

"...I thought such animals are mythical. They don't really exist." Jude said to her.

Lily then opened the big book that appeared to be a photo album of her whole family. When she had found the right page, she pointed at a photo.

"That's him." She replied.

It was a photo of her when she was younger in a beautiful garden. Next to her was Nobu sitting neatly. 

"W-what." 

"When I said that we had another house, I wasn't really talking about one in this...world."

"You mean that you also live in another world than this one?" Axel said surprised.

"...Yes. It's the place where I was born. It's called Rúnland"

"D-does that mean that you're not...human?" Mark asked a bit softly.

"Do you mean that I'm a monster?" She asked shocked, but also a bit hurt.

"What?! No! Not at all." 

"Nobody here thinks that about you, right Jude?" Axel asked him.

"Of course not! Nothing really has changed. It's just a lot to take in you know?"
