☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Last night. 🌙

After settling the worm, Merel decides to talk to Aiko in private. He briefly tells her about the painting, the curse, the worm, and Zhenya (omitting details about their habitat, etc.). And, of course, he warns that the curse may return, so Aiko should go to the beauty salon, and the Carneolians should be prepared for this, so that they can help if necessary. And until then, no one should know about it.
