“Traitors or not, it’d leave a bad taste in my mouth to have to kill a teammate.”

That marked a first for Thea—the first time an ally had ever threatened her life.

* * *

After Monika left the room, Thea let out a long breath. She sat down in a nearby chair and hung her head.

How did things get like this…?

As far as she could recall, all her decisions had been fine.

She’d been doing her best. She had brought Annette and her mother together out of a desire to bring Annette happiness, but it had advanced Lamplight’s needs at the same time. She’d been giving it her utmost to uphold her pride as a spy and to protect the country that her idol so loved.

Her, a traitor? It didn’t make a lick of sense.

And how is it that Monika always seems to get the better of me?

The frustration she felt was simple envy.

She knew it was an ugly emotion—and misdirected, to boot—but that didn’t stop her from feeling it.

How was it that she worked tirelessly for the sake of the team, and yet that aloof girl was always able to find so much more success?

Thea shook her head to clear it of those useless thoughts.

“……………Annette.” Even she could tell how exhausted her own voice sounded. “Everything Monika just said is true. This is your choice to make. Asking Teach what to do would be a good decision, but if we do that, there’s a chance you’ll never be able to see Matilda again. What is it that you want to do?”

The only one who could decide what would make Annette happy was Annette herself.

Thea still felt as strongly about that now as she had before.

“I…”

When Annette opened her mouth to speak, it was with none of her usual bombastic energy. And who could blame her?

“…I want to see Matilda again, yo.”

Hearing her answer filled Thea with renewed conviction in the choice she’d made.

If Annette had said “I dunno” or “Either way’s fine,” Thea would have been crestfallen.

Now, though, she knew that something was starting to sprout in Annette’s heart. Her reunion with Matilda had been a stroke of good fortune after all.

“All right. Then, tomorrow morning, I’ll take you to see her.”

She brushed Annette’s hair and gave her a gentle smile.

At long last, Thea finally started feeling calm again.

Erna was trembling over in the corner, and Thea bowed apologetically to her. “I’m sorry for shouting earlier.”

“Big Sis Thea…”

However, that wasn’t what Erna was so afraid of.

She was afraid because her teary eyes had seen the future that awaited them.

“If Annette says she wants to save her mom…what are you going to do…?”

Thea went silent. She didn’t have a good answer for that.
