Nana wheels pass Joy's room. She stops and hesitates. She wheels backwards and knocks.

Joy ; come in.

Nana pushes the door open and wheels in " Joy. "

Joy ; mama.

Nana : hey...

Joy : ... All these because of my father. Also to let the king's guard down. To think you're useless.

Nana : ... Joy. You're... Very smart.

Joy : of course I am !

Nana laughed " sorry. It's just you're still so young. "

Joy sighed " I know why you do it. Just... So angry you don't even tell me."

Nana : I didn't want you to worry.

Joy ; you're going to be still in the wheelchair? Esther said you can heal yourself. Will those flowers work ?

Nana looked at the flowers in the huge vase " nope. Will need more than that."

Joy ; oh.

Nana : hmm... Garlis !!

The door opens " yes Miss ?"

Joy ; you're outside ?

Nana : this guys secretly follows people without them noticing. Like a thief

Garlis : miss. I prefer saying it as a good skill. So people don't notice I'm around. I don't interrupt people's conversation.

Joy: also a good eavesdrop.

Garlis ; young master !

Joy and Nana both laughed.

Nana ; he felt I need extra. So he's following me around.

Joy ; secretly.

Garlis ; quietly. But still noticed.

Nana : get me a live animal. About three. I think it's three sections of the spine I need back. Oh sorry, 4 . 1 for the nerves.

Garlis : 4 ....

Nana : rats.

Garlis ; got it.
.
.
.
So it was brought to her. She placed her hand on the cage and as a magic circle draws below, it lights up. Another one draws below her and lights as well . Without screaming or pain seen from the rats, they just collapsed.

The light dims and disappear for the magic circles.

Joy ; that's it ?

" Yup. " She stands up from the wheelchair and stretches " oh. Right. This is what standing is like."

Joy : I take it back. Your magic is awesome. Damn it, why do I have father's magic ? I want yours.

She laughed " choice isn't yours. "

Joy ; hmph.

Nana : alright. I'm going to find Edness. Your mom.

Joy ; let's spend more time together mama.

" um !" She turns to walk out when joy said " I know what happened already. Mom told me. I begged her. But I'm your son. Maybe you can remember that instead ?"

Her tears fell as her head hung a little. Garlis could see from where he was standing.

Joy ; I love you mama.

" Me too. Joy. " She walked out as her body shivered from crying.

Nana goes to look for Edness.

Edness : nana ! Your legs are back !

Nana : yup.

Edness ; don't worry. Things are great. Everything is ready except to trigger the peace treaty.

Nana : but before that, I need to talk to General Deseri .

Edness : oh. I didn't agree. Don't worry. Just using it to get leverage outside.

Nana : I know. Phew. Luckily you didn't agree.

Edness: you would tear me a new one. I still want my life, thank you.

Nana : thanks. I'm leaving then. Not disturb you and Neva.

Edness : that's it ?

Nana ; what ?

Edness ; Esther didn't tell you other things ?

Nana ; she did. But she's wrong.

Edness : what ? I never said they're part of us . Don't bring them to tea parties.

Nana ; you also never made times hard for them.

Edness : Not harsh enough?

Nana : you could kick them out of this house . Force them back to their own house. Make them see like there's really no one to support them.

Edness : maybe I just want my reputation. I'm secretly a bad bad person.

Nana ; I know the things you do for them. Secretly

Edness : who says ?

Nana laughed " you're not a bad person. You're like me. A soft hearted. "

Edness : I'm not !

Nana : thank you ~ using your own way to warn those who said they're parentless.

Edness : I didn't say anything.

Nana : you secretly destroyed the special present I sent over to send a message. If the host said something mean about them. Or stuff food in their mouths

Edness: tsk. Who told you ?

Nana : they're kids. They only see the hard things they want to see. Forgive them ok ?

Edness : I'm not like them. Plus... Esther is just looking out for her own siblings.

Nana : love you !

Edness ; hmph.

Neva: aww. My two favorite ladies love each other.

" None of your business." And nana leaves the room
