Two ordinary girls.
One apartment.
A single glowing symbol that changed everything.
When Theia and Max wake up with strange marks on their hands, they think it's some weird dream.

Max paced in circles, muttering about magical rankings, iCloud storage, and symbol superiority.
Theia sighed. “We’ll ask Grandma. She has to know. Where is she, anyway?”
Max blinked. “Oh yeah… she left this morning. Said she had ‘important otherworld duties.’ But also said we should get ready for tonight... she’s taking us somewhere.”
