Ayia and Shizuka were bummed out that they wouldn't be able to spend the New Year with their friends, as they thought it would be boring to spend another new year with their family.
But when they heard that this party was for them as well, they were touched.
Shizuka was usually a calm and reserved person, she didn't talk much. People would think that she did not feel many emotions. But in the last few months, she had learned to love the company of everyone there. And for the first time, she felt like she had friends outside her family. Even though she didn't say much, she loved everyone there. And knowing that they threw a party for her too, made her feel a little emotional. But she was good at controlling her emotions, so she just smiled gratefully at them.
Ayia, on another hand, didn't have any problems expressing her emotions, so she just started tearing up a little. Just like Shizuka, the last few months were the best of her life.
