Kya was supposed to be with Charlie, but in the brief moment he took a call, she was off chasing butterflies and vanished into thin air.

She followed the butterfly into an orchard, happily picking blueberries into her little basket, when she heard someone call out from behind, "Hey, kiddo!"

Kya turned around to see Susanna.

Susanna had been trying to reach Carson with messages, but got no reply, only to discover she'd been blocked. Fuming, she stumbled upon Kya, who was on her own. Just yesterday, because of Kya, Magdalen had played a trick that left Susanna publicly humiliated. Today seemed like a good day for payback.

Kya's little face turned red with anger, "Don't talk about my mom!"

"Oh, I just did. What are you gonna do about it?" Susanna poked Kya's forehead, causing her to stumble.

Kya stepped back, looked around, and yelled, "Daddy, Daddy!"
