Shen noticed Lina was uncomfortable and had to use the washroom. He knew the bathroom was only outside the ballroom and and down the corridor.
But he still got nervous that she wasn't by his side. He didn't want to let his wife roam free in this room full of wolves and vultures.
Shen took a deep breath to calm himself down. But she was no lamb herself. He had to learn to let her take care of herself, the way she wanted to.
He had been precocious of her safety from the start, but since the attacks, he was having a hard time dealing with her not being within his direct line of sight.
Lina entered the women's bathroom, which was thankfully completely empty. She was feeling the cramps intensely in her lower back and the corset was suffocating her.
She looked around for a pad or tampon dispenser. Having found one, she went into a bathroom stall to put it on.
