When Marie returned to the orphanage, she was immediately attacked by Grace and pulled into an emotional embrace. Through her sobs and muffled whimpers, Marie realised the extent of the damage her haphazard actions had caused to those around her.
"I am putting my foot down! No more of this, Marie!" Grace demanded.
"That's not going to stop her, Grace," Guy interjected as he carefully pulled Grace off of Marie.
"So you're just going to let her go through with this?" Grace exclaimed. "She was out for two days! TWO. DAYS." She added while forcefully jutting out two fingers in front of Guy's face.
"But she's back now, look!" Guy gently turned Grace around and spoke in a low voice into her ears. "Let me handle it. If we force her to cease, it will only make her want to do it more. You know how teenagers are?"
"We have to be strategic in our approach. Although we cannot stop her, I will ensure that she maintains caution in her actions. Alright?"
