Oliela didn't need to say much, as Gaven had guessed, she was completely immersed in her own world, giggling happily to herself from time to time with a silly smile. She had either thought of something amusing or was overwhelmed by the alcohol, as rosy blushes appeared on her pale little face.

Mommy is here, Mother Gao Ser is here. Just cry it out, just cry it out. Once you cry it out, everything will be alright."
