Logan went back to his room, feeling elated after witnessing Scorch's happiness with his monsters. He couldn't help but wonder how things would be when Silis's eggs finally hatched.
But his thoughts shifted to the conversation awaiting him with Lisa—it was going to be a crazy night, and he had no idea how it would unfold. Lisa had mentioned she'd make her decision after the trip, so Logan was bracing himself for her answer. He tried to calm his nerves, yet he couldn't stop pacing.
The boy continued pacing until exhaustion overtook him, and he finally sat down on his bed. He didn't even notice the window opening or the girl quietly approaching him from behind.
"Logan... I guess we need to talk before we head out to find the new monster," Lisa said softly, wrapping her arms around him from behind.
Fortunately, Logan had caught the scent of her perfume just moments before she hugged him, saving him from being startled.
