(Elyzara POV)
I flopped onto my bed with the kind of dramatic flair that could only come from an ten-year-old who had absolutely no intention of doing any actual work today. My limbs sprawled out like a defiant starfish as I stared up at the ceiling, thinking about… well, mostly Velka. The entire situation was giving me way too much to think about, and frankly, I wasn't sure whether I was in the middle of a mysterious life-or-death adventure or just experiencing an existential crisis that happened to involve a vampire, murals, and way too many confusing feelings.
[Feeling overwhelmed?] the system chirped in my head, breaking my thoughts like a very irritating glass of water.
"Gee, thanks," I muttered. "What gave it away? The dramatic starfish pose?"
[It's a very unique pose.] The system's voice was tinged with amusement. [Not many can pull off that level of dramatic exhaustion.]
