"Who… Who is that?", Viel stuttered as his tears continued to trail on his face,
"Why... can't I remember?"
"What? What do you--"
"Vi!"
Before Violet and Diao Mei could place their hands on Viel, Sofia quickly rushed towards them and pulled Viel away from the party, dropping her plates without care.
"Miss Sofia, what's happening!?", Diao Mei wanted to chase Sofia as she dragged Viel out of the courtyard, but Sofia raised her hand, gesturing for Diao Mei and Violet to stay.
"It's nothing", Sofia shook her head, "Please enjoy the festivities, we'll return later"
"W--"
"It will be alright"
Before Diao Mei or Violet could even say anything more, Sofia already left the courtyard with Viel. Yinji, who also noticed Viel's sudden change in mood, squinted her eyes as she followed the two inside the castle.
