"You won't be able to advance to the next grade. Even if you're smart, you won't advance because your habit of being absent without explanation proves that you no longer have morals. School isn't just for learning; you must also be responsible and have the desire to keep growing." The principal's words lingered in Lily's mind as she sat in her room. She cried, her hands trembling.
Christian brought a glass of water and said, "Here's your water, calm down. Don't worry, you'll transfer to a new school."
Lily said, "Yes, but I've been there for two semesters, and all my grades are pretty good."

Christian's phone rang.
"Wait a moment," Christian said to Lily, then he answered the call and said, "Hello, Will."
Lily watched Christian leave. After that, Lily grabbed her phone from the table, unlocked it, and searched for a contact named Rin-Chan. She pressed the call button on her screen.
"Hello, Lily, what's up?" Rin said.
