When a circle lit up beneath her, Kat was actually a bit relieved. Kat had started feeling rather odd after going so long without a Contract. She felt a bit like a kid that had been spotted sneaking into the cookie jar. Despite knowing she was entitled to a break, the fact that she just ended up with one without any further communication was somewhat uncomfortable. So now that it was time to leave, Kat felt the pressure that had been building in the back of her mind dissipating.
Once again failed to leave Earth but I don't feel bad about that fact at all. Though... if we aren't in the new dimension next chapter someone come smack me over the head.
