章 65: Esme Joins Ursa Minor

The cafeteria at Crestwood High was bustling with activity. Students filled the tables, chatting and laughing as they ate their lunches. Blakely, Maven, Iris, and Claire sat at their usual spot, enjoying their meals and discussing their latest adventures in Morphantasia.

Blakely was drowsily nibbling on a cheese stick, her eyes half-closed as she listened to her friends. Maven and Iris were animatedly recounting their recent quests, their excitement palpable. Claire, who was seated next to Blakely, joined in the conversation, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.

Across the table, Esme Deacon was listening intently, her eyes wide with curiosity. Esme had become close friends with Blakely, Maven, and Iris, and while she loved hearing about their adventures in Morphantasia, she had never played a VR game herself.

Maven leaned forward, her eyes gleaming with mischief. "Esme, you should totally join us in Morphantasia. It's so much fun!"
