Meanwhile, Sana, who had been left behind, received a call from her friend Jeongyeon. Mina, who was observing all of this, find the caller's voice familiar.

Jeongyeon, concerned for Sana's well-being, expressed her worries, especially since Sana was grouped with a bunch of guys. Sana reassured her friend, assuring her that everything was fine.

As the girls returned, Mina pleaded with them to spare Sana. It was during this intense moment that Sana recognized one of the girls as the missing girl from the news. It turns out that she had transformed into a creature like Mina and had become a resident of Agora Hills.

Mina decided to reveal the truth to Sana about what they were. Understandably, Sana was scared, but she found the town strangely comforting.

Sana made the decision to stay in the town forever, embracing her new life alongside the creatures.

Sana wrestled with the conflicting emotions of her decision to stay in Agora Hills permanently. On one hand, she found comfort and a sense of belonging in the town, but on the other hand, she couldn't shake the bitter feeling of leaving her dear friend Jeongyeon behind. Jeongyeon was one of the few people Sana deeply valued, someone who had saved her from a dire situation in the past. Sana felt a deep sense of gratitude towards Jeongyeon.

However, as Sana explored the town and spent time with Mina and her friends, she began to understand that Agora Hills offered her a chance to embrace a new life and discover a different version of herself. Mina and her friends, who had already transformed into their true form, guided Sana to an undiscovered part of Agora Hills, a hidden paradise that only the residents could access.

In this beautiful paradise, they revealed a unique ritual to Sana. A ritual only performed to humans like sana. They created a clone of her and transported it to the woods, where the recent missing girl's  body had been found. This transformation symbolized a metaphorical rebirth, a way for Sana and the others to evolve into new versions of themselves.

With a mixture of excitement and trepidation, Sana made the decision to fully embrace her new life in Agora Hills. She understood that this meant leaving behind her old life and Jeongyeon, but she felt ready to embark on this journey of self-discovery and transformation.

As Sana was in daze, Mina sat beside her as they stared at the girls who is having fun, Sana starts to tell Mina her stories, mostly about her friend jeongyeon and their stupid decisions that lead them in trouble, sana pulls out a picture in her wallet as she  mentioned to Mina about Jeongyeon always being on a call with someone every night. Mina was surprised when sana suddenly starts talking out of nowhere, nods as she find the story interesting.

"Jeongyeon," she began, her voice barely above a whisper, "she's always on a call with someone every night. She says it's a friend, someone who understands her. I've never seen her so attached to a call before. She means a lot to me and seeing her that happy, makes me happier"

Mina listened, a soft smile playing on her lips. The revelation brought her comfort because she was that friend Jeongyeon was always talking to. Their nightly calls were something Mina looked forward to, a connection she cherished. And the precious friendship between sana and jeongyeon.

Hearing about it from Sana, knowing that Jeongyeon valued their calls as much as she did, it warmed Mina's heart. It made her feel closer to Jeongyeon, despite the physical distance between them. It was a comforting thought amidst the chaos, a reminder of the bond she shared with Jeongyeon.

"I see," Mina replied, her smile never leaving her face. "Jeongyeon is indeed a special person."

Sana nodded, a small smile finally appearing on her face. "Yes, she is."

Jeongyeon, who had been trying to reach Sana on the phone but received no response, grew worried. "Sana, please be safe.." She whispered to herself as she looks at her phone waiting for sana to update her about her travels.
