Alice was relieved that her physical condition remained good, as her menstrual pains quickly disappeared. She gathered her strength and continued teaching her students with dedication for the next few days. At the same time, she was busy preparing the Christmas play.

The school had high expectations and Alice worked hard, often rehearsing with her students until late. That afternoon, after her last student had left with her parents, Alice decided to stay in the empty piano room, playing a piece just for herself.

Alice took several deep breaths to calm herself. “Alice, it’s very late,” Monica said quietly. “I'm at the school gate. Come out!”

Monica's hands were cold from waiting outside. She laughed when Alicia warmed them. "I was so worried about you."

Alice felt confused. “What have I done?”
