[Ellie's P.O.V.]
When I woke up, it was already midday. I had never slept for so long before but the soreness in my body had already reduced. I remembered vaguely hearing a lullaby in my fading consciousness yesterday. It must have been Edith, worried that I wouldn't be able to sleep well so she came to comfort me in the middle of the night.
I felt a warm current flowing through my heart. Edith was the person who treated me the best in the world, so good that I didn't know how to repay her. If it was possible, I was willing to give everything to her.
I tidied myself up and wanted to go downstairs to check on the workers' progress. The moment I opened the door, I found Kirk standing outside.
When he saw me suddenly come out, he seemed to be shocked and greeted me in a panic, "Ellie."
I noticed that his face was covered in sweat. He seemed to have been waiting in front of my door for a long time.
He looked at me and hesitated.
