1314 Wonderful Synergy

Varian didn't expect this day to arrive. Especially after learning bits of Isadora's past, he thought it'd be impossible for someone like her to do something as intimate as Synergy.

They were just holding hands now. Nothing more, nothing less. But Synergy was a process that'd touch the soul.
