In the van service, the Bennet boys couldn't help but set their eyes on Penny's seat. None of them spoke a word and simply cast each other a quiet look before looking at her again. For some reason, they could feel that Penny's on fire.

She wasn't saying a word and was just staring at the window. However, they could feel the heatwave from the invisible flames engulfing her.

"What happened? Hugo mouthed to Atlas, but the latter shrugged. The two of them shifted their eyes to Slater because their third brother was the closest to her building.

Butler Jen glanced at her before reading the list once more. "Of course, Miss Penny. We have most of them in the house. But do you need these things in school?"

"I need them in my school," Penny explained, keeping it vague. "It's for a project."

"A project?"

"Project Survival! That's the theme."

"Oh. No wonder."

"Anyway, I'll say hi to Tiana, Chunchun, and Mouse first! I'll come down to help later!"
