Min had just held him at knifepoint moments ago, yet he seemed strangely compliant, even telling her to leave! Mia flashed a triumphant smile at her “Ms. Maynard, are you planning to thirdwheel us?” Seething, Luna was on the verge of losing her composure. She scowled at Mia and said indignantly, “Tim, your mother is worried sick about you, especially with the news of the tsunami near Xanier Island, Call her and let her know that you're safe.” Mia waved Lama goodbye, further provoking her ire.
