Kia and Paige Mueller sit professionally in an exquisite booth in Atlantis's Dinner House, a restaurant the sisters used to eat at as children.

Kia: Paige, look. I know it's hard for you to process--

Paige: What is hard for me to process? All I know is you're ditching your amazing life here to go live with the human population because you'll "fit in". That's hardly a reason.

Kia: Paige, I know you're there.

''Kia feels a tear slip down her cheek. Now she's alone. Really alone.''

Kia feels her hand slip on a smooth paper and she picks it up.

It reads;

'Help me. London Liar. ASAP.'
