The room fell into an eerie silence, enveloping both man and goddess as they locked eyes, a profound stillness settling over them. Tristan hesitated, struggling to articulate his thoughts when faced with the enigmatic gaze of Goddess Lorauras.

"Um," Tristan uttered, attempting to choose his words carefully. Yet, as he gazed into Lorauras' impassive expression, words seemed to elude him.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqCSkgp5aO
"I apologize," Tristan finally spoke, the words escaping hesitantly. He observed the goddess's stunned reaction and quickly added, "That was rude of me, and I'm truly sorry if it offended you." His hope lingered in the air, hoping the goddess would not take his words too seriously.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUhu8UKkIf
Lorauras remained silent, her eyes losing their spark, transforming into an almost lifeless stare fixed on some distant point. Tristan's concern grew.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4ttgTq6Xn
"Are you okay?" he inquired, a tinge of worry and anxiety evident in his voice, seeking to break the unsettling silence.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtgZ7KyZiT
The oppressive silence persisted, and Tristan, consumed by self-doubt, muttered an exasperated question to himself, staring down at the wooden table in embarrassment.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmmYef55MM
As he began to apologize once more, a sudden glow seized his attention. Tristan's eyes widened in disbelief as Loraura emanated a mesmerizing blue light. Her once blank gaze transformed into radiant white, and she defied gravity, hovering in mid-air.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhaot7AXzL
"What's happening?" Tristan questioned, anxiety gripping him as he rose from his seat.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdLezV4xmP
The luminosity intensified, culminating in a thunderous eruption that shattered the ceiling, sending debris cascading. Shocked, Tristan witnessed the night sky beyond as the energy dissipated, leaving a gaping hole in the apartment.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0mchdKUg7
As Loraura began to descend, unconscious, Tristan rushed to catch her, holding her in his arms. He gazed at the face of a god, eyes then shifting to the ruined ceiling, feeling a mixture of awe and despair.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu8MoOcNP7
"Mr. Barnes is going to kill me for sure," Tristan muttered, his voice trembling with fear.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rpKdUTyIP
Tristan's gaze shifted downward, watching as Loraura stirred and began to wake. "Miss Loraura," he greeted, concern etched on his face. "Are you okay?" he inquired, extending a helping hand to guide the goddess to her feet.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdMfbdiaOn
"Yes," Loraura replied, regaining her composure. Her eyes scanned the messy aftermath, widening in shock as they settled on the gaping hole in the ceiling.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35I2ORVopx
"Oh my!" she exclaimed in disbelief.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvngECROkzt
Tristan, still processing the bizarre events, explained, "Yeah, um, a strange light shot out of your body and destroyed my ceiling, sooo..."
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTln2elIdjR
Before he could finish, Loraura dashed towards the giant mirror hanging from Tristan's closet door. Bewildered, Tristan questioned her actions as she traced her finger against the mirror, seemingly drawing something.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJf277UI6f
"I beg your pardon," Loraura responded, glancing back at Tristan. "I need to borrow your mirror for a moment."
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxdu5W82zq
"Uh, sure..." Tristan consented, still grappling with the unexpected turn of events.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hWSBxARdF
The mirror's surface rippled like water, small waves forming as if droplets had disturbed a once calm lake. Gradually, the reflective facade transformed, abandoning its mirror-like properties for a radiant white glow that made Tristan squint.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kGW2CbilQ
Amidst the luminosity, Tristan heard Loraura uttering words he couldn't comprehend—ancient and alien, resonating with an otherworldly resonance. The mirror, now adorned with a blue elegance, gradually reverted to its original state, leaving the room in profound silence as Loraura sat on her knees, lost in contemplation.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBIEflGaGF
"Um, are you okay?" Tristan inquired, his gaze fixed on her.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmue1S8305
Loraura turned her head, her face adorned with a smile that left Tristan uncertain of its authenticity. "Congratulations, Mr. Cunningham," she said, the smile lingering. "Your wish has been granted."
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRftZZ2VNg3
Tristan stared at the goddess before him, his astonishment palpable as he struggled to find the right words to express his disbelief, mouth agape in shock.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwIek2U4iL
"T-They granted my wish!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with incredulity. "No, no, no, just no!" he protested vehemently, shaking his head in denial.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDtWiUrY6P
Loraura remained seated, her confusion evident as she tilted her head slightly in response to Tristan's outburst.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hK9oa4Zs7
"Do you even know what that means?" Tristan questioned, observing Loraura's perplexity. "We'll have to stay in this crappy apartment!" he exclaimed, his frustration mounting.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfJLuhqSlX
"Yes," Loraura replied, her smile unwavering.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVjHThOka3
"We'll be broke, you realize that, right?" Tristan continued, his concern deepening.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKyXcZkxF9
"Yes," Loraura affirmed once more.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN9VpckbyB
"I'll have to work two jobs just to make ends meet!"
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YIsKpV6S1
"Yes," Loraura repeated, nodding with a hint of excitement in her demeanor.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqZy8TZoWT
Tristan couldn't help but marvel at Loraura's composure and enthusiasm amidst the chaos of their newfound circumstances.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70VC2Uhr7t
"Note to self," Tristan thought, embarrassment flooding his senses. "Don't think Pervy thoughts," he muttered, averting his gaze.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc8uYxQSgQ
"Knock, knock, knock!"
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtZgGjDgv6
Tristan's heart skipped a beat as he glanced towards the front door in panic. "Oh no, I forgot," he exclaimed, rising abruptly. "My landlord is stopping by this morning," he explained, his voice hushed as he attempted to maintain composure.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a0YphaBCk
"How nice," Loraura remarked politely.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmqg3VBSy6
"No, not nice," Tristan countered frantically. "Not nice at all. I'm on a one-person lease; I'm not supposed to have anyone in the apartment, let alone a girl," he elaborated, scanning the room for hiding spots. "You have to hide," he urged, darting towards Loraura, who remained seated on the ground.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8iT9QHuRk
In his haste, Tristan failed to watch his step, stumbling over a stray bottle on the floor. "Shit!" he exclaimed, lurching forward and inadvertently landing on top of Loraura.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsRFF8JmvX
"Uh," Tristan uttered, meeting Loraura's gaze as they found themselves in an unexpectedly intimate position.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1pohL97JW
Tristan gazed down at Loraura, his cheeks ablaze with a deepening blush. "She's amazing," he thought, captivated by the ethereal beauty reflected in Loraura's sky-blue eyes, framed by wisps of light brown hair that only enhanced her allure. However, his reverie was abruptly shattered as a towering, shadowy figure intruded upon his thoughts, emanating an aura of strength that eclipsed all else, instilling fear and anger within Tristan's soul.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMK2uGRSJH
Loraura simply observed Tristan's shifting expressions, her silence speaking volumes.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpB655CHpH
Without warning, the front door burst open, and Mr. Barnes strode in uninvited, wearing an annoyed expression.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJruGuhe6B
"Mr. Barnes!" Tristan exclaimed, his voice tinged with urgency.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRof26ateX
"Times up! You better have my money, boy, or..." Mr. Barnes's threat trailed off as he was confronted with a scene that left him speechless. Tristan, seemingly caught in a compromising position with a young woman.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JgmGL5wlj
"You..." Mr. Barnes growled, his anger palpable as he trembled with fury. "How dare you break my rules!" he bellowed.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfJx9FGs7n
"No, it's not what you think, I swear!" Tristan protested, scrambling to disentangle himself from Loraura's presence.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81QhhrnGOI
"Be silent!" Mr. Barnes commanded, pointing a stern finger. "I'll hear no more of your lies."
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5fgP8yJbD
Tristan stood frozen, a sense of dread settling over him as Mr. Barnes continued his ominous declaration.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhTWBal26J
"For all those who dare to break the rules, there can be only one outcome," Mr. Barnes announced, his tone unforgiving.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGrgvhogAl
"No, please, no!" Tristan pleaded, desperation evident in his voice.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ujv63x8Qg
"Eviction!" Mr. Barnes declared, sealing Tristan's fate with a single, merciless word.
