It was Jonathan's turn to console the girl and he tried his best. Luckily, the girl quickly wiped her tears and plastered a smile on her face before she raised her head to meet his gaze. Yet, Jonathan was able to see the sadness struggling behind the grin.
"You can tell me."
Jonathan had a stern face when he conveyed that she doesn't need to cry alone. He also added that he does not have a friend yet and extended his invitation to be acquaintances.
Happily, she nodded in agreement and introduced herself-
"M-my name is Tarina Colene."
Jonathan frowned lightly and he glanced at the prideful girl through the corner of his eyes before gazing back at Tarina.
"So...you both are siblings?"
Jonathan asked in a soft voice an the girl denied it shaking her head. She hesitated to answer and Jonathan had to give her the courage to open up.
