Michael's eyebrow rose slightly.
Lily continued.
"I met Timi early, and we stayed together for most of it. I know it might not happen again."
Michael's expression relaxed slightly.
"As long as you understand."
Lily gave a small nod.
"I do."
Michael sank slightly deeper into the sofa. That handled the first thing.
"There's something else. Two things to be specific. The first is more important."
Michael looked at her for a moment before asking, "Did you enter a Level Three region last time?"
"Yes. But we didn't stay long. Timi said Level Two regions were already starting to become a bit dangerous for us, so going deeper without a need wasn't worth it."
Michael nodded slowly.
"That was the right decision. But this time, I actually want you to enter a Level Three region."
Lily's eyes widened.
Yoo! Wasn't he the one who told her not to go courting death?!
