Bab 202: It's a choice.

"I refuse."

When she opened her eyes, Nino found herself in an unfamiliar place. She tried to look around but failed. She couldn't move any part of her body, not even her eyes. It was as if she was completely restrained, forced to watch what was happening in front of her without the ability to do anything.

"Clotho…"

Another voice spoke and the scene moved to show its owner. For a moment Nino thought she was looking at her reflection in some mirror, but then she understood that the one standing there was Atropos, the Olympian who called her sister.

"There is no need to be so stubborn." Atropos said, her expression twisted with anger. "Let's just do as we are told."

"Since when did we start doing that?"

A new voice joined the conversation. This one was familiar as well, but a bit weird. It took Nino a while before she realized that it was her own voice, though it still didn't feel like she was the one talking.
