Chapter 44: Astrid Kilobite

We went out to the location where Blitzø gave us to find Astrid Kilobite, Cattleya's best friend, to find out what's gotten into her recently.

"Like some of us, she lives in an apartment." Cattleya said, "She's on Room 205, so she's on the 2nd floor."

"Let's hope we can settle this." Lars said, "I ain't going to prison for being leaked as a member of The Phantom Thieves Of Hell."

When we arrived at the apartments, we went to Room 205 where Astrid was living. The door was locked shut and there was a sign outside that said, "Do Not Disturb or else…"

"Do not disturb or else…" Selene said, "Oh, she's really serious, huh?"

"Definitely." Cattleya replied, "Here, let me knock on the door."

Cattleya knocked on the door. …No answer.

"Huh…" Cattleya said as she heard some tech noises from inside the room, "She's on her computer as always."

Cattleya knocked on the door, but louder.

"GO AWAY!" A Feminine voice shouted from inside of the apartment,

"Astrid! It's me, Cattleya!" Cattleya shouted, "I just wanna talk!"

Then, there was silence… Until…

"Hold on." Astrid's voice hollered from inside, "Is it just you?"

Cattleya took a deep breath.

"I have friends here with me." She replied,

"Then you're better off without me!" Astrid hollered, "Go away!"

"Wait! Just at least let me get your number! We haven't talked in forever and I forgot what it was!"

"...Give me a second."

A few seconds later, something slid down the doors. Cattleya picked it up and noticed that it was Astrid's number.

"I got it, thanks!" Cattleya said,

"Go fuck yourself!" Astrid shouted,

"I will!"

Cattleya turned and sadly sighed.

"This is gonna be harder than we thought." She said to us, "Come on."

We all left the apartment. The door to Astrid's apartment opened, revealing Astrid Kilobite herself. She looked around.

"Teh, bet they were here to try and change my heart or something." She said, "It ain't happening."

Astrid looked at her watch.

"Ah, it's almost time for my nap." She said as she stretched and yawned, "I can't believe I woke up at 6AM this morning. Shouldn't have slept until 7… Oh well!"

Astrid went back inside.
