"Nice to meet you." Crow reached out his hand. Crystal just stared at him. "Not the friendly type... alright then." He sighed, lowering his hand back down. "Can Alona hear me?" He asked instead.

"She's listening." The girl nodded.

"Take care of yourself." Crow smiled, talking to me. I sighed, looking away inside our mind.

"You made her sad." Crystal chuckled.

"You said you're a magician?" Anti called behind his screen.

"Yeah..." Crystal tilted her head. "Why?"

"Can you do anything worth watching?" He asked.

"I'm still pretty weak because of her take over... plus I haven't trained in years because of it. I'm sort of useless right now." She shrugged.

"So like Marvin." Anti nodded to himself.

That's-! How the fuck dare yOu! I called mentally.

Crystal giggled.

"What?" Anti raised an eyebrow.

"She's angry." She sighed. "She's so eager to protect that magician..."

The demon glared at her for a moment before looking back at his screen.

-

"So you're Alona's host?" Alisia asked.

Crystal glanced at her then back at her phone.

"Okay, okay... I know I'm not supposed to talk to you... But it's really interesting!" Alisia continued.

"Why would you talk to me after everything Alona did to you?" Crystal asked.

"You're not her." The other girl shrugged.

"And you think I didn't enjoy it just like her? The way you were begging for someone to save you... it made both Alona's and my heart race, you know? It was an unforgettable experience to see you so broken that you couldn't even cry anymore..." Crystal talked in her monotone voice.

"You're creeping me out." Alisia hissed before leaving.

What was that for? I sighed.

You know I can't stand company. Crystal smirked.

-

Sam was flying around us for some time. What's up with this fly? The girl sighed.

Anti probably told them about you, so he's watching you for him. I explained.

Damn paranoid demon. Crystal sighed but at the next moment she appeared in front of me, inside our mind.

"Why did you drag me here?" She sighed. "You know you're not going out any time soon." She took my hands in hers. I looked away. "Can't you just behave for some time? Give both of us a break?..." She asked. "I know!" She called happily and released me, placing her hands on my cheeks instead. "It's that man, right? As long as I spend more time closer to him, you'll be content and will stop being a nuisance, right?" I tried stepping back but she stopped me. "I'm not a bad person, y'know?" Crystal smiled. "Even you deserve to be happy... and I'm going to let you feel that way." She hugged me. "Just promise you'll be right here to enjoy every moment you have left."

-

I felt a hand shaking our body lightly before Crystal opened back her eye, seeing Anti in front of her. "It's you..." She muttered.

"Get up, you can sleep in my office if you want to." He noted and she followed him.

"You were serious about the surveillance part..." Crystal mumbled. "I'm surprised you're actually keeping me around to watch me personally..."
