Two days after her kidnapping, we managed to repay Isabella's debt and she was finally allowed to leave the white room and return to her normal bedroom.
Lenard also ended up helping out a little with this. I made him feel guilty for confining Isabella and potentially creating the opportunity for this incident to happen in the first place.
It was mostly bullshit, but it worked well and he's been a little more compassionate and understanding towards her.
This made me quite hopeful that we could mend their relationship and get a strong ally for her inside the house.
Now that her punishment is over, we've finally acquired permission to use the courtyard and some other facilities.
Although I had such permissions from the start, aside from taking a look to plan things out, there wasn't much reason to use them without Isabella.
Mia: "I think she's too stiff..."
I took this opportunity to move our classes outside.
