"Do you want anything else to eat?" asked Rowdy Brightwill, having made almost every variety he could think of.
He stared intensely at Flossie Wright, feeling somewhat anxious, as though any minute change in her expression was worth noting.
Flossie gave a natural response without even looking at him. Her reaction seemed casual, but before she realized it, there was something odd happening to her. Instinctively, she turned her head to find Rowdy sitting upright, no longer looking at her.

Feeling somewhat baffled, Flossie didn’t dwell on it too much and continued to work on the large pile of food in front of her.
Although, given her appetite, she couldn’t finish it all.
During the Bonfire Party, Flossie, who had just polished off most of the barbecue, made her excuses to Rowdy and headed straight back to the cooking class.
Though seated by the bonfire, it was already winter. Coming out from the wet sea, the training uniform mixed with cold water and a cold wind clung to her body. Along with her inactivity, her hands and feet were almost frozen, so she figured she might as well go back, take a bath, and get a good rest.
At the cooking class...
The night was cool, with a gentle breeze.
Just as Flossie had walked outside the dormitory, she saw Yvonne Watson, anxiously pacing in front of the door, holding a mobile phone. Her face looked anxious under the faint light from the screen, giving her an intimidating and blurry appearance.
Yvonne, who had been pacing anxiously, stopped suddenly as she noticed a figure in the darkness. She unexpectedly yelled out, but quickly caught herself and suppressed her half-screamed shout.
The sudden exclamation made Flossie stop in her tracks as well, casting a bewildered look at Yvonne.
After squinting and looking for a while, Yvonne finally recognized Flossie standing there. The nervous tension that had been in her throat finally relaxed.
"It’s you," Yvonne patted her chest as though scared. She looked thoughtfully at Flossie, dripping wet. "Where is Becca Reyes?"
"She has something else to do."
Flossie answered curtly, a bit vague. She didn’t flatly reject Yvonne, but neither did she humor her.
Currently, Yvonne seemed preoccupied with something else and didn’t follow up on the matter. Even noticing Flossie’s arrival didn’t lessen her anxiety. She stood in place with trembling legs, and after a few glances at Flossie, she moved aside as if to let her pass.
Clearly, Yvonne had something on her mind.
Flossie was a few steps away from the dormitory door. Just as her hand was about to touch the doorknob, she paused subtly. Flossie turned to look at Yvonne, "What’s the matter?"
Not that she wanted to meddle; she was just curious and asked quite casually.
Yvonne started instinctively, her eyes welling up with tears.
Quickly lowering her head, in dim light, her eyes brimming with unshed tears and her face full of worry were just visible. She wanted to speak but hesitated, clearly implying to Flossie that she had indeed encountered some kind of trouble.
Flossie frowned, losing more interest in finding out. She pushed against the door with a bit more effort, and it swung open.
In an instant, she faced the darkness inside the dormitory.
With a noticeable nasal tone, tears unexpectedly flowed down Yvonne’s face as she softly called out Flossie’s name, her voice filled with cautiousness.
