Alex deliberately stayed behind after adjourning the meeting.
Since the others had their own business to attend to, they left the clock tower one by one. Once he was certain that everyone but Latifa and Lotte were out, he approached the sleeping beauty's bed and looked at the young fox lady.
Lotte stood at the side, her arms crossed over her chest as she watched Alex. A faint smile adorned her lips, her eyes slightly squinted as if looking at something very amusing.
"Latifa, can we talk?" Alex asked as he sat on the bed. "I want to ask you something."
No answer.
Looking at Latifa's face, Alex was almost sure she was asleep, just like always.
But there was something that didn't escape his notice—when he sat on the side of the bed and asked his question, her tail started to gently sway. Was she really asleep?
Since he had no way to verify, Alex went with the safer option, asking her Second Alter, Lotte, instead.
"Lotte, can you or Latifa enter people's dreams?" Alex asked.
