Choosing to reexamine the note closely, you unfold the parchment again. The elegant script seems to shimmer with a touch of familiarity. The words now read:
"Dear Housemate,
I am sorry. I had no choice. They need me, and I have to answer the call.
Please cover for me and let others know I'm on a personal quest. I'll return as soon as I can, and when I do, I'll share the secrets of the hidden realm. Until then, keep the magic alive!
Best,
Serona
P.S. The fate of the enchanted realm is in your hands too. Trust in the magic within you."
The mystical symbol is drawn at the bottom of the note, its lines pulsating with a reassuring glow.
What's your next move?
3.A) Respect Serona's wishes. You hope she will get back soon.
3.B) Wake up your housemates. One thing history has taught you is that one should never venture alone.
