Chapter 219: Who do I remind you of?
"Are they alive?" Alice asked and Miss Stella shook her head.
"I have no idea." She said. "She ran away, and I haven’t been able to come in contact with her. Even homing abilities can’t find her." She sadly lowered her head. "Maybe it’s because she ran away long before the apocalypse. She might as well be dead."
She smiled.
"But well, it’s all in the past. I’m not trying to make you uncomfortable, so let’s just focus on your hair. We don’t want to be late."
She started brushing her hair again and styled it a different style from the previous day, and once she had done that, she stared at Alice in the mirror with her hands on her shoulders.
"There, you’re all set." She announced.
Alice could feel Miss Stella’s emotions even if she was smiling and hiding it. It was like it was weighing on her shoulder.
Would it be poknoçing if she asked who that person was? It wasn’t like she was going to use the information for anything. She just... Felt Miss Stella wanted her to ask more questions, so it would give her an excuse to talk about it, and the boulder would leave her chest.
How did she know this? She had no freaking idea. She was just doing what her gut feeling was telling her.
"So, this person," Alice said, "You used to brush her hair a lot? Is that how you learned how to brush because you have nice skills."
Miss Stella paused for a while and then laughed. It looked like Alice was trying to cheer her up.
