Panel 1
-Evita: *Narrating* Laura, having been Trina's property before I hurried her into my own collar, followed her Mistress out. At least she didn't punch me. But she didn't need to. The look of pain and conflict in her eyes struck deepr than any blow.

Panel 2
-Evita: *Narrating* Michelle, my sweet Michelle stayed by my side. The only of the three to have consented to being put under my enchantments, she understood why the others had left but also understood why I had done what I done. Thank goodness for that. I don't know that I could've carried on living having lost her love.

Panel 3
-Evita: *Narrating* Since then, life has been what I can only call... ideal. Michelle and I have retired from the public scene with rare exceptions, opting to have our fun in relative private. Most of the time. I continue to live with regret at the measures I took to liberate my darling slavegirl, but I never regret having given her the freedom to choose her own path in life.

Panel 4
-Evita: *Narrating* Someday I'd like to believe that Trina, Laura, myself and Michelle can all be friends again. Their absence left an empty space in our lives that we've both simply avoided acknowledging. At the very least, I'd like to ask Laura just *how* she was so resistant to my Hypnomancy. I guess it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, does it?
