Self aware!valko finally meeting you, only to start noticing the cracks in "reality". You're everything he's ever hoped for, his fated mate, yet... why aren't you looking at him? Your eyes, always in a daze. Looking past him, as if he's not there. Suddenly your voice has become hollow, like a radio that's been on repeat so many times that it's simply lost the soul of the music.
And it's not just you. Everyone's seemingly on a loop, always talking about the same things, repeating the exact same lines...? The news becomes repetitive, and city life seems to stall. As if waiting for something that's been promised, but is never going to happen.
Valko's restless, and his wolf senses it all too. It's like he's the only one who notices what's happening. Well, one of the only ones, at least. If the suspicious email sitting in his inbox is anything to go by, the Farspace Fleet also notices the shift.
Colonel Xia, huh?
