She pressed it against Val's card and voiced her command. "I want to transfer 60 points to Val."
"I accept the transfer," Val said.
In response to their command, the number on Val's card jumped from 80 to 140, and Eliana's card went from 100 down to 40.
Seeing the numbers change, Eliana finally felt like she had done something for Val. She had been able to contribute, even if it was just a small amount. A sense of relief washed over her as she realized that she wasn't just a burden on Val.
Eliana chose the lower bedroom under Val's insistence. His reason was that it was closer to the exit and the talisman, which would provide her with an extra layer of safety. He also suggested that she hang a talisman in her room for added security.
Eliana couldn't help but feel touched by his concern. "Thank you, Val," she said with a small smile, touched by his consideration for her safety.
