As Nix was nearing the party hall, she saw Linc waving and running at her, only to be hit by someone opening the hall's door from inside.
She would've gone to help her, but then was blocked by a few staff members rushing out from within the hall.
Her gaze fell on them and she noticed that none of them bothered to check up on Linc. They simply went by their ways to do their things.
It felt weird. In any case, Nix went to go check up on Linc.
Walking close to her and helping her get up, Linc immediately hugged Nix and began crying.
"M-M-Master… sniff… sniff…"
Nix didn't understand why she was crying, but she had to distance herself from Linc because he was a guy now. People might misunderstand something.
She took out a handkerchief, handed it to Linc, then broke the hug. "Why are you crying?"
Linc used the handkerchief to blow her nose on it and looking at Nix with her tear-filled eyes, said, "there… sniff… there—"
"Nixie!"
