A few days had passed since then, and Lidia had been cooped up in Zion's room, not leaving to talk to or engage with anyone. She barely talked to Zion, only looked for his comfort when she needed him, and slept in his bed when it was time to sleep.
Aurora was the only person who was able to talk to Lidia. Not because she allowed it, but because of how persistent Aurora was. Even when she was told to go away, she didn't listen and clung to Lidna like a child holding its mother.
"Zion said everything should be okay, so don't worry." Aurora tried her best to cheer up Lidia. "He even talked about how you have the potential to be even stronger than you normally are."
"Zion always sees things that break convention as a fascinating discovery. Do you see the shit he does in his labs? He doesn't know how deeply this is affecting me. Like, imagine if I am related to demons. Me, no, my whole family would be in danger. The whole world would be after us."
"Zion would protect you."
