CONTENT WARNING: Mentions of the COVID-19 Pandemic

"There's a...pandemic in your world?" Riddle asked, eyes widened in shock. Trey, Cater, Deuce and Ace turned towards MC in confusion and concern.

"Yeah, it's been going on for quite a while now. It's dangerous since we've never seen the virus before. The people of my world have been taking precautions as well, such as maintaining social distancing, wearing face masks and constantly washing hands." she answered, averting her eyes to her feet.

"And despite that, you still want to go back?" Deuce asked, looking at his other-worldly friend.

"Isn't it dangerous for you to go back there when such a dangerous illness is going around?" Trey asked, eyebrows furrowed.

MC sighed, looking back up, "All I plan on doing is making sure my parents know I'm alright, figure out the current state of the virus, pack up some of my things and then come back here after several days with my family."

A man in a crow mask and tophat appeared in the room, a hum escaping his lips. "You want to return and come back?"

"Crowley?" The six in the room were shocked, saying his name at the same time.

"I will allow MC to visit her family. I am generous, after all. However!" Crowley tapped his cane against the floor, "You are to be accompanied by one of the students. I will give you the choice of who you want to accompany you, but you are NOT to go alone!"

MC nodded, "Understood. I'll figure out who would be the best fit to accompany me and talk to you once I find someone suitable."

"Well then, I shall get going." he disappeared in a swirl of crow feathers.
