[ Bela fully intended to reach out to people when she was released from the torture room, but she was exhausted from her ordeal. After her wound was patched up and she took a long bath, she slept the rest of the day into the next morning. When Bela woke up, she had messages waiting for her from both Ava and James. She responds to Ava's text first because it was easier than having to reply with either voice or video.

When she switches from text to video, Bela makes an effort to look her best, but he'll notice that her skin is paler and that she looks tired. He didn't look great either and that makes her concerned. ]

If you'd know where I have been for the past week, you definitely wouldn't like it, James. [ She heaves out a sigh, worrying at her bottom lip. ]

I was held prisoner by some demons and subjected to torture. I'm not sure I want to tell you what they did... [ Bela trails off, sucking in a breath. ]
