Alice stared at the boy in silence. She kept her expression neutral, but inside she was praying that both he and Gong Fan would be able to get through this in one piece.

Youyou woke suddenly that night.
His waking was a pleasant surprise to Alice. She could hardly contain herself. There were so many questions she wanted to ask, but because he had only just woken up, she forced herself to calm down.
"How do you feel, Youyou? Do you feel better, more awake?"
"Be quiet for a moment." Romanka motioned for her to be quiet, then brought a glass of milk and held it out to the boy.
However, the little one looked up and around. He first muttered to himself, "Where am I?" Then he turned back and gave her a long look, but he was clearly puzzled.
"I… am not Youyou."
"…" Alice and Romanka were stunned.
Seeing their strange expressions, Gong Fan couldn't help but worry. "What's wrong with Youyou? Did something happen?"
