227 Z, X, and V

"The gentleman on the second floor".

Sebastian's plate doesn't even have a number, but just one letter - Z.

It's unlikely that he could see and spot Ava from that huge window on the second floor, but Ava feels like Sebastian glanced at her coldly when he raised his plate just now. Wronged tears fill Ava's eyes.
