Chapitre 51: Prisoner of her mind

"For now… I hate to say this, but you have to play this role. Forget about that Luca you know and be this Luca you should be. Sleep, eat, and wake up playing this role. You're an actress. A very talented one. So, if you're going to go crazy, stay in this character and go wild. You'll forget about this in a year. I promise."

Luca pursed her lips, holding Nova's sincere pair of slit eyes. What else could she say to her cat? It was not like they didn't consider the worst-case scenario. It was just that no matter how they — Luca prepared, she wouldn't be ready for this.

"A character… a role…" Luca whispered with quivering lips. 

"Yes." Nova nodded. "A role you will never remember after a year."

Luca's face contorted as she forced her voice out. "Promise?"

"Yes." Nova put her hand on Luca's thigh and kept her eyes on her. "I brought you here. I brought you back to life. I can do it again."
