After yesterday's commotion the group decided to have a sleepover at the healing center. Elwin was the only one who went home after saying that he needed a break from people "almost dying".
"Ruy?" Sophie whispered, getting up slowly so that the rest of her friends could sleep in peace.
"Sophie." Ruy whispered back, turning to look at her. He moved the blankets at the end of the cot so that Sophie could sit.
"Are you even supposed to be awake? Walking?" she asked.
"I can walk around whenever I want. What do you think I've been doing all night?" Ruy asked, raising his eyebrows.
Sophie sighed, "Does it hurt when you walk around?"
"Not at all!" Ruy exclaimed.
"Yeah, totally. Don't lie to me!" Sophie scolded.
Ruy rolled his eyes. "Why don't we talk about if you're okay?"
"I'm fine." Sophie responded with a glare.
"Now you're the one to lie, little sister." Ruy laughed a little.
"Do you expect me to be okay? My brother just came back from a scary coma. Don't call me, little sister!" Sophie said.
"Fine, little sister." Ruy responded with a smirk.
Sophie ignored Ruy. "And Mr. Forkle is in the Neverseen. We found that out, no thanks to you!" Of course Ruy knew that Mr. Forkle was in the Neverseen.
"Wait, what?" Ruy looked shocked and a little taken aback.
"Mr. Forkle. Neverseen. You know the connection." Sophie accused. He knew and didn't even tell her. It felt like Sophie couldn't even trust her brother anymore and their connection felt widely spread apart.
Ruy realized what Sophie had just said. "No Sophie! I didn't know! I promise!" Ruy protested, blinking hard.
"Are you lying?" she asked suspiciously. The anger and hatred toward Mr. Forkle flooded her whole body. She uncurled her fingers in fury. Mr. Forkle!
"I'm not! I swear!" Ruy cried loudly. "If I knew, you think I wouldn't have told you?"
Sophie's face burned red with embarrassment. How could she ever think her brother wouldn't tell her if he knew about it. These days she was always assuming things and accusing people. "I- I didn't- I'm sorry."
"I understand." Ruy said with a sad smile. "I was with the Neverseen, the wrong team, and I officially quit but I could still be a spy for them."
"Of course you're not a spy, Ruy. You went through so many hard times with me." Sophie said. "It was all my fault that I accused you for something you didn't do."
"Well, at least you don't think I'm a Neverseen spy!" Ruy said.
Sophie gave him a small smile. "Mr. Forkle is being held captive and sedated in a secret spot. Once he wakes up after a few days, we can start the questions."
"You know, we should get revenge on that wrinkly dude." Ruy loudly said.
Sophie laughed, that's exactly what he was now. A disgusting fat old man. (Wrinkly dude)
. . .
Just after Ruy and Sophie finished talking her friends woke up.
"Finally awake sleepyheads?" Ruy asked, grinning.
"I guess so." Biana sat up groggily, shoving her hair behind her ears.
