Rose knocked on her door not long after, Damian sending a mental message to her and Zion so that they could see her off

"Come in," Alessia mumbled, though hadnt moved off the bed. Curled up beneath the covers, staring ahead at the wall.

Rose walked in and sat on the edge of the bed. “Do you want to talk about it?”

"Oh?" Alessia pushed herself to sit up. Shuffling over on the bed to make room for Rose to join her, "And what did you think of it?"
