(Now)

Mars POV

We wake up, me early, Apollo and Lola late, and Korri in between.

Apollo and I worry Korri to the brim with questions.

I know I SHOULDN'T be the one asking, but I do anyway.

We get home at about 10:05, and I feel like my leg's about to fall off.

"Well," Korri looks at me sympathetically. "We're home."

"I- I have something to say, before you guys get too excited." Lola mumbles. "As much as I enjoyed seeing you again, I- I'm not staying. I'm staying away from them." she gestures to me and Apollo. "But you can come with me Korri. Offer still stands.

"You have to be kidding me!" I blurt. "After all of this, you still chose to torment her?"

Lola glares at me, with lividness... and a hint of hurt.

She shrugs. "I have no choice. Korri, you would know better than any of these idiots."

Korri frowns. "I need to talk to you, in private." She looks at Lola. "Now."
