relationship with Alice in the organization, and they frequently shared a bed, always looking out for each other.
“Alice, what happened between you and Riss?” Norah lay on the pillow, her hands propped up under her chin as
she glanced sideways at Alice.

collecting her thoughts. “The first meeting between Riss and | was romantic. When the gunshots rang out, Riss
