The air fell quiet for a few seconds.
Noan did not press further. He knew Isabell would not say more. She was always like this. Revealing just enough for him to understand that there was danger ahead, but never explaining the entire secret.
Isabell reached out her hand. A purple rune appeared before Noan.
"If you need to complete the coordinates, use this rune to contact me."
Noan watched the rune dissolve into the palm of his hand, then nodded gently. "Alright."
Isabell turned. The space before her slowly cracked open, forming a narrow purple rift. But before stepping through, she paused.
"Noan."
"Hm?"
Isabell did not turn her head. "Don't die too soon."
Noan was slightly taken aback, then gave a soft laugh. "You too."
Isabell said no more. She stepped into the Void rift, then vanished completely.
Monica stood at a distance watching that scene and asked in a small voice: "Is she really Catherine's older sister?"
Noan looked at her. "I don't know any more than you do."
