For a moment, Melody felt a wave of disorientation.

Arnold's familiar, concerned voice for Suzanna echoed in her ears, and she couldn't help but reflect. So, people could wear such vastly different faces.

Melody raised a hand to her forehead, steadying herself as her resolve solidified even further.

When Arnold stepped forward, extending a frail hand for her to hold, Melody didn't hesitate-she swatted it away with force.

"If you do, then tell me! Where were you all these years when I was being wronged?
