The introduction played out just like how Penny remembered it. Things had changed in her previous household, so the situation wasn't the same as in her first life. Hence, having to relive this situation gave her

mixed emotions.

After the quick introduction, the family went straight to have their early dinner.

Penny almost laughed as she glanced at the girl beside her.
