Lizetta darted to the side, her eyes fixed on the disheveled figure of Stella, sprawling on the ground and wailing in distress. She frowned deeply, questioning her own judgment.

She couldn't help but suspect the worst in people, wondering if Stella was merely putting on a show. After all, it seemed implausible that someone who had harbored such malice towards her would suddenly become her selfless savior.

The person who had fallen alongside Stella struggled to get up, but the pursuers were quickly closing in. She watched as Stella, in her disarray, kept apologizing profusely.

"I'm so sorry, so sorry! I didn't think it would lead to someone getting hurt. If I had known, I wouldn't have chased after them. Miss, are you alright? Oh dear, that looks like a burn!" Lizetta gasped in surprise, "Zora? Is that you?"

It was Zora, the caretaker of Thaddeus. Upon seeing Lizetta, Zora paused for a moment, then hurriedly approached, saying, "Ma'am, what are you doing here? You see, it's like this..." Before Zora could finish, the person on the ground scrambled to their feet and attempted to flee. Zora, taken aback, dashed forward and grabbed the person, shouting angrily. "You've hurt someone and you're trying to run away?! Hand over the recorder!"

"Let me go! Back off, how dare you, a mere caretaker, lay your hands on me? I don't know anything about a recorder!"
