“All he said was, ‘She’ll know to find these here, and when she does, she’ll finally be ready.’”
RADICAL PETS concludes with Chapter 7: “UNDER A LUCKY STAR” written by MIA YOU.

This is where it all ends.
In the final chapter of RADICAL PETS, Emma/Elle finds herself standing in front of a convenience store cooler, trying to make sense of the “inconceivably and, frankly, exhaustingly escalated chain of events” that has led her to this point — beyond the point of no return. But what is the mysterious “something” that is still drawing her forward? And where will it take her?
