Winter breaks down into tears. She messed up... badly. “I’m sorry,” she whispers. She manages to get her trembling body to the stairs and forms a portal after making sure there were no security cameras. She walks into the living room and collapses face down on the floor in Arty’s kitchen. She curls into herself, sobbing silently. 

Ivy gasps softly and jumps to her feet. She hugs Arty tightly and presses her head into her own shoulder. “Where is she? We can get a host to portal us there. Shh she’s a little warrior, just like her big sister. She’ll get through this, and so will you.”
