It was perhaps only Aiwass who wanted to find Isabel at first, but the group just kept growing.
First came Lily and David, then Yulia and Master Nobel—later they even encountered Master Yanis.
Aiwass was even somewhat worried that Isabel might have a relapse of her social anxiety upon meeting so many people at once.
It was only when he saw Isabel with his own eyes that he realized he had been overthinking.
Or rather, he had underestimated the severity of the problem.
Isabel was as if reverted to her original state—that was even an autistic form Aiwass had never witnessed in person, only heard about from other students' conversations.
She would respond when someone knocked, and she did invite people in. But once inside, they found Isabel huddled in a corner of the room, not greeting anyone, nor was there a smile on her face.
She seemed engrossed in painting, as if she was so focused on it that she had no attention to spare.
