On the grass of the training grounds, the young dragon girls sat together.

Noa and Aurora were staring at each other in silence, an air of seriousness between them that felt out of place for children.

Moon looked at her older sister, then at her younger sister, blinking with curiosity. She wiggled the tuft of hair on top of her head and asked earnestly,

“Are we playing a game called ‘Just Staring Without Talking’ today?”

Aurora raised a hand, cutting off her second sister’s question while keeping her eyes on Noa.

“I just saved you,” Aurora said, enunciating each word clearly.

“What do you mean, Aurora?”@@novelbin@@

“I’m not talking to my big sister; I’m talking to the ghost hiding inside her.”

“Ugh~ not ghosts again. Aurora, you even talk in your sleep about catching ghosts,” Moon groaned, sprawling out lazily on the grass, her little tail spreading beneath her.

Moon had developed a sort of PTSD from the word "ghost." Every time, Aurora would drag her into ghost-hunting adventures that always turned out to be pointless.

Over time, Moon had begun to suspect that her little sister had simply gone stir-crazy from boredom during summer break, unable to find enough fun and eventually losing her mind.
