About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, Kelsey and Orson find themselves trapped in a dark, overheated generator room after a short circuit causes the main door to slam shut and the lights to explode. As they wait for help, Kelsey struggles with her deteriorating physical condition, which Orson notices but she tries to dismiss. After some time with no assistance and rising temperatures, Kelsey loses consciousness due to the heat, prompting Orson to act quickly to cool her down using his Suspension skill, risking his own well-being in the process. While Kelsey is unconscious, she murmurs about her burdens and experiences, revealing her deep-seated fears and insecurities regarding her leadership role at Rhodes Island. She recounts her past with a Sarkaz princess—her ambition and the eventual downfall of their group, Babel—reflecting on the sacrifices made and how their original leader, the PhD, had protected her by becoming a target. Kelsey grapples with her feelings of inadequacy, believing she lacks the vision and capability that her predecessors had. Orson, witnessing Kelsey's vulnerable state, encourages her by highlighting her unique ability to save lives, contrasting it with the PhD's more destructive approach. This exchange leads Kelsey to contemplate her purpose and the potential impact of her decisions on the future of Rhodes Island. Just as Kelsey begins to reconcile her thoughts, Amiya and Rose Marry arrive to rescue them, breaking down the door and bringing light back into their dark world.
