On Sunday, Alexander visited Lena after getting the money.

At first, he thought about taking her out for a meal, but he understood that things had changed for her. A simple meal wouldn't mean much to her now, considering she must have enjoyed many good meals before.

Nevertheless, he was determined to use the money to do something special for her, so he suggested they go somewhere else.

"Ms. Lena, how about a trip to the amusement park? My treat," Alexander suggested with enthusiasm.

Lena was initially hesitant but found it difficult to decline when Alexander was so excited about the idea. She agreed to meet him at the amusement park.

Surprisingly, it was Lena's first visit to an amusement park.

Despite residing in Centrolis for many years, she had always harbored an instinctive aversion to places like this. She believed that the happiness and laughter found in such places didn't belong to her world, which she felt was confined to the gray, overcast sky.

Even during her time with Chris, they had never visited an amusement park together. She had heard a superstition that couples who rode Ferris wheels together would break up, and her greatest fear was that her relationship with Chris would end.
