3rd Person POV
Ophis, Great Red and Lilith went back to Naeva's realm in order to ask her about transporting more people from Issei's old world to his new one.
Naeva, on the other hand, heard their entire conversation. So she knew what they'd ask her, and she knew that what they were about to ask would be risky.
The portal opened, and Naeva turned to greet them.
Naeva: Welcome back, you three.
Great Red: You already know what we're gonna ask, don't you?
Naeva: *nods* You want to know if I can bring others from Issei's old world to this new one, right?
Ophis: Can you?
Naeva:... While it's not impossible, it's very risky. Like Red said, if too many people enter at once, it could cause a paradox.
Great Red: Hmmm... Is four too many?
Naeva: Hmmm... No. Actually, that's perfect. However, I would need their permission, and I can't stay in one world for too long. So you'll have to gather them.
Ophis: That's fine. We were planning to do that anyway.
Naeva: Alright then. *looks at Red* Just summon me with the pendant when you're ready.
Great Red: You got it.
With that, the three went back to the old world to go and find Irina, Ravel, Xenovia and Valerie.
With Ravel
Ravel was sitting in her office at her family's mansion in the Underworld. She was busy filling out paperwork for the family Phoenix Tear business.
Ever since Issei's "death", she's constantly buried herself in work to try and distract herself. Even though it doesn't do much.
She was in the middle of filling out an order, when a knock was heard at the door.
???: Ravel...? You in there...?
Ravel:... Yes, mother.
The door opened to reveal Ravel's mother, Amelia Phoenix.
(A/N: They never mentioned Ravel's mom's name, so I'm giving her one.)
Amelia entered the office, and she immediately noticed that Ravel didn't look so good.
She had bags under her eyes, and she just looked stressed out.
Amelia: I just came here to check on you. Your father and I are worried that you've been pushing yourself too much.
Ravel: I'm... I'm fine, mother...
Amelia: Really...? You don't look fine...
Amelia walked over to Ravel and placed a hand on her shoulder.
Amelia: In fact, you look terrible... When was the last time you slept?
Ravel:... 3... days...
Amelia: 3 days?!
Amelia took the pen Ravel was using to write, and looked her in the eye.
Amelia: You need to get some sleep.
Ravel: But... This work is important to our business! If it doesn't get done, we'll be behind and--
Amelia: Honey. We both know this isn't about the business...
When Ravel heard that, she just hung her head.
Amelia: You still miss him, don't you.
Ravel meekly nodded, and Amelia embraced her daughter in a gentle hug. Ravel then started to lightly sob.
