He wants to ask Hannah where she has been these days, why he has received no news of her.

His expression regains its usual calm, voice still warm and gentle. His simple suit accentuating his tall stature, drawing surreptitious glances from many trainees.

Written on them are the songs they need to perform this time.
There's a good five meters distance between the locations for singing and dancing.
