Connor Olphean died.
It happened less than a year ago, and since then, everything changed with Elizabeth, a change that everyone noticed. She was absent for a few days and returned with a warmer smile, devoid of the coldness she once exhibited. She abandoned all competition with the Teraquin House and Raven House and instead focused silently and diligently on her classwork.
Elizabeth, who had always shown some restraint in getting along with Celeste and the others, suddenly became close to them again, reminiscent of how she was when her parents were still alive. Celeste and Amelia, who were the closest to her, happily accepted this change and refrained from asking too many questions. They understood how close Elizabeth had been to Connor and did not want to upset her with inquiries.
