While the mannequins were in conference, Dalia was the only one she could hear.
"Whether you wanted to be one of Sisterhood or not, it is your fate." Dalia said. "You are good at being one of the Sisterhood...They will not be able to deny this..."
She paused as they sensed the rest of the Sisterhood returning to their awareness. "We have decided," the group said. "Sister...you claim you do not wish to be one of us...but when Victoria asked...you quickly agreed. You did not protest or decline. You did this willingly. You agreed to hold to our laws. This was before Dalia made her claim."
"She only wants to return to her former place because she does not wish anyone else to have it." Dalia said.
"Is this true, Sister?"
"Of course it is," Carly said. "I want it."
There was a murmur amidst the group on that. "You have not proven your argument." Carly had lost this round.
In the storeroom, Dalia's plastic face suddenly took on a smile.
