"I won't let you go alone," Lina said decisively, as soon as Nemo told them about the Supervisor's call. "I'm coming with you."
Nemo looked into her eyes and saw that she was full of seriousness and wasn't going to back down. He had already expected such a reaction from her, but he was still very happy to hear and see it.
Nodding to her, Nemo turned to Lucinda, who immediately said:
"Count on me."
The last one left, Milena, also wanted to join them, but Lucinda intervened:
"And don't think about it."
"But..." Milena began to object.
"No buts, period," — Lucinda snapped.
Nemo turned to Milena, who pouted with displeasure.
"Lucinda's right, Milena, I'm sorry, but you're staying."
Milena lowered her head and clenched her fists.
She did not throw a tantrum, realizing that she was the weakest in the group and would rather interfere than help. She understood that Lucinda and the others were primarily worried about her.
