Lyra nodded, absorbing all the new information.
She glanced up at the crow perched on her shoulder, curious about Felix’s tier.
If he was also Tier-2S, what form would his spirit animal take when fully enlarged?
Finished
At that moment, the betta shrank back down to palm size. It drifted toward her, soft and delicate, gliding like a free spirit right before her eyes.
Lyra’s attention latched onto it; her gaze tracked every fluid, graceful movement.
Caw!
A harsh croak sounded beside her ear.
Lyra snapped back to her senses. She pointed toward the rooms further down the hall, signaling she needed to get back to her duties.
Draven shot the crow an amused glance.
“Alright, go on with your work p>
He turned toward the betta, pretending to call it back.
But the creature kept weaving playfully in front of Lyra.
Draven let out a quiet huff. “It’s unusually energetic today. Might as well let it stay out a little longer p>
Lyra readily agreed. She nodded to show she didn’t mind.
After giving the betta a gentle poke, she headed off to finish her rounds with the two spirit animals trailing along.
The betta tried to edge closer to Lyra, yet the crow held the high ground on her shoulder, watching it with open hostility.
Whenever the betta made a move to settle on Lyra, the crow struck out sharply with its pointed beak to chase it away.
Lyra glanced over her shoulder.
The crow stared back at her with round, jet-black eyes, feigning complete innocence.
Meanwhile, the betta drifted calmly through the air, serene and light.
Lyra looked forward again, unaware that the bird and fish had resumed their silent standofl.
She lifted her head when the crow suddenly hopped onto the top of her skull.

Finished
Confused, she lifted it off.
It had always behaved well before, sticking neatly to her shoulder.
Held in her palms, the crow tilted its head. Its dark eyes looked just as puzzled as she felt.
Lyra chuckled softly, ruffled its feathers, and set it back on her shoulder.
Encouraged by her kindness, the crow rubbed its head happily against her cheek.
Unnoticed, the betta slipped onto her opposite shoulder.
A cool, tickling sensation brushed her neck. She tilted her chin down and found the betta sweeping its tail lightly against her skin, quietly demanding her attention, its large golden eyes fixed steadily on her.
Lyra smiled again and continued walking onward.
The crow craned its neck left and right, unable to spot the betta. It guessed the creature had hidden somewhere out of sight while it was distracted.
It stretched its head to peer downward.
Sure enough, it caught sight of that flash of quiet red nestled in the curve of Lyra’s shoulder.
Cold glint flickered in the crow’s black pupils.
Copying it was bad enough-now it dared try stealing its human?
At that moment, Lyra reached Harlan’s cell door.
She slid open the window and knelt to peer inside. /
Scraping sounds echoed as Harlan slowly walked toward her, holding his empty meal tray.
When he spotted her soft face at the window, his deep, gravelly voice softened. “You came p>
She smiled and nodded, reaching out to take the tray from him.
Then she pulled something out of her pocket and held it out.
Her fist curled tight around the object, hiding what it was.
Harlan’s gaze fixed on her closed hand.
“What’s that?” he asked curiously.
Lyra smiled mysteriously and stretched her hand further forward.
Harlan cupped both palms beneath hers.
A soft rustle followed, and several individually wrapped candies tumbled into his hands.

Finished
Harlan’s eyes widened. Before he could speak, Lyra quickly scribbled a note and passed it through the window.
“These sweets are for you I hope they cheer you up p>
Truth be told, Harlan always carried a heavy, weary look, as if burdened by endless troubles weighing down every corner of his heart.
Lyra would rather see him grinning like the other Sentinels who loved teasing her, than watch him sink into such quiet gloom.
She couldn’t bear to witness someone with such quiet strength slowly withering away.
The candies felt light in Harlan’s grasp, yet his heart sank as though weighed down by a heavy stone.
His emotions swirled. “…Thank you p>
Lyra noticed glistening emotion rising in his eyes and quickly waved her hands.
“It’s nothing at all.
“Enjoy the candy. I have to keep working. If I finish early, can I come back to talk with you p>
Harlan nodded, his gaze lingering on her.
“Alright p>
As she descended the stairs, a mournful call drifted out from Cell 120 beside the staircase.
“Lyra p>
Lyra paused mid-step.
She still needed to return the crow. Resigned, she walked over.
She slid open the window, and Felix stared up at her with drooping brows, looking utterly miserable.
Lyra studied his face and frowned in confusion.
What had gotten into all these men lately? They kept flushing bright red for no obvious reason.
Felix was far worse than the rest. His fair skin blushed deep crimson, color spreading all the way to the tips of his ears.
His pale aquamarine eyes shimmered, and the flush tinting the corners of his lids lent him an odd, captivating softness.
She set the crow free through the window, then pointed at Felix’s flushed checks, questioning him silently.
Felix reached out to grab her hand, but Lyra pulled away sharply.
Her brows drew tight, watching him warily.

Felix pouted, eyes glistening as if he might cry, putting on a pitiful display.
Finished
The crow seemed unable to stomach the sight. It croaked once toward Lyra, then vanished on the spot.
Lyra stared in surprise at the empty space where the crow had been, then looked back at Felix.
She jotted down a short note, keeping a dose watch on his movements, folded the slip, and tossed it toward him from a safe distance.
Felix shot her a sorrowful look, then bent to pick up the note and unfold it.
