บท 169: Stirring Up Old Feeling, Finally Snapped

"Umm, er, no, I have a bunch of work that I must complete first!" Kieta blurted out as she turned away in embarrassment.

Part of her did want to go, but there was still so much more for her to do, but seeing Keri had stirred up memories and feelings. The way she seemed genuinely interested in everything and how close in size she was to Kieta started to make her feel strange inside, but she was an old woman now.

Or that is what Kieta still assumed about herself, but that wasn't true. Kazz's Ranching System had restored her to that of when she was a young woman.

In all the excitement, she hadn't even looked at her own hands clearly. Her only worry was to be able to finally fix all of her creations, and Kieta never looked at her reflection anymore.

Jilly had already figured that Kieta wouldn't want to come, and Veronica was disappointed, but Keri was a different breed than the other two. Unknowing of Kieta's inner struggles, Keri ran over before Jilly knew she was gone.
