"Yeah... I' sure you are..." Luz replied with a monotone expression. She knew all too well what Phillip was like, who he was, and what he had done, er, was going to do. It all made her stomach nauseous, but not enough to just end him here and now.

"S-so... how did you wind up here, Phillip?"

PΉIᄂIP ЩIƬƬΣBΛПΣ @silhouettephilip.bsky.social · Dec 26

"Pleasure to meet you, Luz Noceda."

Why was he reacting this way? Was Philip stalling? Trying to trick her? Luz looked him over and realised... his nose wasn't broken! Could she have... fallen further back in time?
