Chapter 27

• When Luna woke up, the room was shrouded in darkness. The lights were off, and someone's firm grip held onto her hand. She sat up, her hand still clasped in someone else's. Wondering how long she had been asleep and who the person was, Luna took in her surroundings. She had fallen asleep in Merlion's hands and now found herself on a bed.
• The person holding her hand tightened their grip. Luna tugged gently, trying to free her hand. Suddenly, the lights flickered on, revealing Phoebe's tired smile.
• Luna straightened up. "You startled me."
