Margaret, on the other hand, attempted to contact Marius. She has not been able to speak to him since he left with Dante.

"Marius? Marius!" she dropped what was in her hands and ran up to him, kissing him on the lips as soon as she entered his embrace.
"Margaret," her name left his lips before they continued their passionate kiss.
