"Back then, I was bullied and shoved down the stairs-the principal had to call you in," Ethel stated, her voice imbued with a firm resolve. "You even accompanied the police to review the security footage..."

Aware that feigning ignorance might only escalate matters, Hugh decided to play along, feigning a moment of

"Yes, exactly!" Ethel exclaimed, her excitement palpable.
"Are you Freya Briggs?" Hugh inquired, seeking confirmation of her identity.
Caught off guard by their convincing performance, Freya responded with a composed, "Yes."

How could she possibly forget? This little mischief-maker had wandered off to gather lotus flowers and had accidentally fallen into the pond. Even as Freya had pulled her to safety, she had clung tightly to a lotus flower.

"You've transformed so dramatically over the past decade," Ethel remarked as she clasped Freya's hands, her eyes glimmering with sentiment. "If it weren't for your unmistakable face, I might not have recognized you at all."
Kristian watched quietly, a slow realization settling in-it was probably true.
