Cora returned to her seat without verbal interaction, displaying distinct behavior. Meanwhile, Lucas simply shrugged and resumed conversing with his friends.

Her preoccupation extended to acquiring knowledge of his residence, his parents' professions and hobbies, and even details about his younger sister.
Cora adapted her schedule to align with Lucas's, ensuring they shared the same classes.
Her actions, although excessive, did not deter her as she pursued her objective of encountering him daily.
