"At least give me some advice. You said you want to go back in as soon as possible, so would improving the camera be the easiest thing to do?"
"How about you solve the problem of things other than the space suit and camera attached to the suit not teleporting with me? That's something that will not only be useful now but also much further into the future when we attempt to normalize this technology,"
"I understand what you're trying to say, but that will take much more time. I will need at least another few years before I can even hope to reach a glimpse of that. It's just a coincidence that anything touching your body gets teleported with you… we didn't calculate that at all. That function was already there, surprisingly,"
"Hmmm… I see. Okay… okay… well, then we'll just have to do with the shaky camera footage. We'll head off tomorrow morning… do you have sleeping quarters where I can rest easy? I don't want to go back to those shitty hospital beds,"
"Of course. Follow me right away,"

"Ugh… GET OUT! I SAID GET OUT!" Electra shouted as she attempted to push me out of her office, but I was desperate to find work, even if that meant learning something new from Electra.
All the new land has been split between the eldest of the sub-sibling group, such as Mia, Lucy, Ethel, Clio, Aria, and finally, Astra, who we have just found recently, Nell nowhere to be found though.
Although according to Astra, we might see her very soon, and all of us have been anticipating her return whilst expanding and working on Tolf.
But, the thing is, if you weren't one of the eldest of your sub-sibling group, you were forced to either work under your eldest sibling or wander the world.
I chose to wander the world but soon found how tiring and exhausting it is, especially with being a wanted woman who is known all over the underworld.
There was practically nowhere I could go besides Sophia, but even then, I had nothing to do, so I left out of guilt, unable to find work.
"Go find Ethel or something! I'm too busy to teach when working! Just get the hell out of here!" Electra shouted, shooting a spark of lightning that I blocked with my forearms, but the thin layer of water completely neutralized it as I let it drop to the ground.
So, I went to find Ethel, so nervous that I felt like I was about to throw up since I initially said "fuck you" and decided to travel the world even after her generous offer of becoming her advisor… and now here I am, begging to work under her.
Not everybody in this fucked up organization is equal, and to be honest, it is possible for me to replace Ethel… but I would first need to defeat her in battle or force her to give the throne to me through underhanded ways.
"D-Do you know who I am?!" I shouted, attempting to push my way through the guards of the gates, but they just pushed me back.
"Please step back, ma'am-"
"No, let her through," A cold voice came from behind them, and as the gate opened up, I saw a warm smile greet me, causing me to burst into tears as she stepped forward and hugged me.
Her warmth was bliss, and as she hugged me back, I couldn't help but not let her go since it was so comforting of finally feeling at home.
"Have you considered my offer?" My sister asked as we walked through the front gates and into the palace, where we sat down at her office to chat.
But, just as I was about to open my mouth, a man came into the room, placing a cup of coffee in front of my sister and standing right beside her.
"A-Am I allowed to take that offer again, or is it… possibly full?"
"Sis… unfortunately, you are too late. I have obtained a trustworthy advisor and personal servant, and I had no plans of making you my personal servant… but that's just how it goes. I can still give you a job, but…."
"This stupid pride will get in the way… right?" I gritted my teeth whilst holding back tears.
"It will," She muttered, and a long silence befell both of us, and once again, I was about to crack open my lips, but the sound of the door swinging open behind me resounded through the room.
BAM
"Oh, am I interrupting something?" Lucy asked before shifting her eyes towards me, her pupils completely lighting up like the stars.

…
She's stronger than ever… but I can only imagine how much training she's done while I've done practically nothing.
As she walked over to one of the metal cabinets behind Ethel, the room was completely silent. Dead silent.
"L-Long time no see," I faked a smile, and as the woman turned towards me, she pulled out a file and tossed it towards me.
I caught it with one hand and looked at her with a puzzled expression, but as she gestured for me to open it, I, of course, did.
Inside, there was a paper with a job offer that seemed almost too attractive.
"I apologize for eavesdropping… but if you want power, then there you go. I'll give it to you and the money to speak for yourself… of course, only if you accept the offer,"
