Jerusha reached the cabin.
"Oh, you're here pretty early!"
Old Man Rey greeted her with a warm smile on his face.
-Meep!
-Hello, Jerusha.
Pyro and Zephyrus then followed.

Jerusha frowned.

Her lips quivered, unable to utter a word.
She couldn't get out the bad news that she was about to tell them.
"Hmm, something wrong?"
The Old Man asked, seeing her disheveled.
"Huh?"

She saw Old Man Rey staring at her.

Pyro and Zephyrus were also doing the same, waiting for her to say something.

Jerusha remained silent for a while.
But then, with a resolute expression on her face...
"It's about Raye..."
