Later on in the night, when most of the guests had safely left, the birthday boy was tucked in bed and robot butlers were cleaning the castle, a few people gathered in the kitchen in Scarlet's wing for conversation, drinks and food.
The group which gathered included the older Su siblings, Esong's friends and the couple itself which was cuddling together in one chair with a warm blanket around their bodies.

Scarlet fed Esong a banana chip and then a spoon of lemon ice cream.
