Isolde’s eyes were wide and bloodshot.
"Just one more song.." she whispered.
Before she could click on the same song again, hoping for a full combo this time. the doors of her room burst open. Light flooded the room, blinding Isolde. She immediately shield her eyes with her hands. (Reference chap6)
"Isolde! This madness ends now!"
Kakania stood in the doorway. Her expression was filled with worry and confusion.
"Doctor?" Isolde blinked, her focus wavered. "No! please close the door! You're ruining my combo! I am in the middle of a live! If I disconnect, i will get a temporary ban again!"
Kakania stepped into the room. She stopped right in front of her bed towering over the opera singer. "Look at yourself Isolde. You haven't attended a single rehearsal this week. The opera house is frantic. Your fans think you've been struck down by a mysterious illness. And what do I find? You are possessed by an... an odd looking music box!"
"It is not a music box!" Isolde spoke up "It is pjsk, doctor!!!!”
"It is a trap, Isolde!" Kakania spoke up, stepping closer. She reached down but Isolde quickly pulled the phone to her chest, guarding it.
"You don't understand," Isolde whimpered, her eyes welling with tears. "The cards, doctor. I spent all my crystals and yet... i still did not get Mafuyu’s four star card.’’
"Im currently rank 105. If I just play for three more hours without stopping, i can make to the top 100. I need the title banner, doctor!’’
Kakania immediately pressed the power button, locking the screen and slipped the device into her pocket. "There" Kakania said softly.
Isolde buried her face in her hands, letting out a long sigh. Kakania smoothed down Isolde's hair. "Come... Lets drink some tea. We will open the windows and let the fresh air in."
"Can I..." Isolde looked up, her eyes pleading.
"Can I at least do my daily log in tomorrow? For the free crystals.."
