[Skyline Plaza: Old Pierson Residences]

Mildred's eyes softened as she held the wrinkled hand in hers. "I'm alright, Old Madam. Have you been well?"

"I am well." Old Mrs. Pierson nodded, looking at Mildred's face, which had grown older but was still the same little girl she once knew. "The family gathering just happened. Is everything alright, my child?"

"Yes, Old Madam. Surprisingly, it ended... peacefully."
