You were already caught up in your own happenings that I was- just happened to be..." She bit her lip and made a small, frustrated noise in the back of her throat.
"Did you only come here to lie to me? The only one who helped me was a perfect stranger at first, and I-" She stopped suddenly, he breath hitching in her throat. She covered her mouth with her hand, as if realizing something, or perhaps out of a short-lived reflex. Edda looked up at Franz with glassy eyes, fixated on that horrible third eye. "What do you want?" She asked after a long pause, her voice muffled behind her hand. Her voice was barely audible, quiet and distant, a sudden shift from her previous disposition, as if she had just now noticed Franz was in her room at all.
