Inside a tent set up near the spot where the funeral is going to be held, Ophelia and the brown-haired child, Emily, eat their dinner in silent contemplation of the upcoming ceremony.
They are sharing at the same small table; their plates are filled with high-quality ingredients, but it was not enough to melt their heavy hearts.
The solemn atmosphere between them as they silently mourned for the dead was visible in the air.
Emily lifted her eyes away from her plate and looked outside through the tent's opening, where the coffin was visible.
There were many people in the funeral spot—people who were strangers to Emily.
They were the servants from Lockhart Manor that were with them to help prepare for the funeral.
Ophelia noticed Emily's gaze drifting towards the somber scene outside the tent.
She reached out and gently placed a hand on Emily's, offering a wordless gesture of comfort.
