Hertha was the first to snap out of it, scrambling to catch up. "Hey, Thalassa, wait for me!" "You can't go," Ethan stood firmly, blocking Hertha's path, adamant about not letting her leave. If Hertha left, it would make explaining things with Alaric even more complicated.

With a huff, she turned around, glaring at Alaric who was lying in bed, "Great, everyone's gone now!"

As he got up from the bed and moved closer to Hertha, intending to embrace her, she spun around and pushed him away, "Off you go, back to bed. Didn't Lydia say you'd be better after another couple of hours of sleep?" Despite his efforts to get out of bed, Hertha pushed Alaric back down.
