Just then, Lauren entered with a bag of items. “You must be hungry, so | bought you food. You should have snow. You've slept for so long.” asked her groggily, “Did someone visit just now?” She looked at me, puzzled. “No one came. You were sleeping so soundly, so | went to get you food.” home, | closed my eyes to calm myself. It seemed | was disoriented. Those who visited had already gone so | wondered who else it could be. | chuckled and struggled to sit up. Then, | accepted the towel Lauren handedand wiped my hands.
| said, “I slept for so long that I still feel tired.” Lauren set the food by the hospital bed and said, “That riot scared me. The car was about to overturn, but the bodyguards and the cops arrived. It would've been disastrous if they arrived even a second later.” “You saw it too?” asked, still shaken.
“The whole nation saw it. She glanced at me. “The live coverage was on a loop. It seems this incident is too significant. The authorities will put in seffort to solve it.

Lauren chuckled and teased, “You're so pretty that they're jealous of you. People might be watching wherever you go.
“That's Harmony. Stop flattering me,” | retorted disdainfully.
Lauren laughed, saying, “Oh, con! Even though she looks similar to you, there's a difference between an original and a fake. She cakes on her makeup, so how can she compare to you?” | chuckled, “You're good with words.” | take that as a compliment.” We both laughed, Even though | had a lingering feeling after narrowly escaping a riot, things had finally ended with ssatisfaction. My mood had lightened considerably.
“I'm just stating facts, but there’s another plece of bad news. Lauren looked athesitantly.
“Go on. | don’t care about one more bad news, especially in my current condition. | said dismissively.
We smiled at each other again before Lauren spoke, “I heard Stella took an early flight to Nocturnia today. We can’t overlook her involvement in this. Why else would she leave?” “She returned to Nocturnia?” | felt slightly disappointed. “Isn’t that too coincidental?” “Exactly. It seems like Stella had prepared herself for this. She stirred up a storm but escaped unscathed. Don’t underestimate her,” Lauren said through gritted teeth.
I knew Stella was cunning. She set the stage and left before the drama even unfolded.
“Unless she doesn’t return,” | said flatly.
“Seems unlikely. Stella won't let this slide. After dealing with you, she’ll cafter Harmony,” Lauren analyzed the situation with me.

“Con. Stella.hasn’t succeeded yet? Do | have to die for her to succeed?” | looked at Lauren wearily.
She smirked. “You're right. It has caused quite a stir.” “I was surprised the authorities took over today. | wonder if they had prepared beforehand or if it was a last-minute decision.” | took a bite of my food and looked at Lauren, thinking she should have accurate information.
“I don’t know about that. | was also going to Galar Tower but couldn't get in because the road was blocked. | only realized what happened when | heard about the incident through live broadcasts.
“The authorities probably didn’t have a deliberate plan. If they did, they would've informed us. Then, the riot wouldn’t have happened.
“If the authorities knew about it, they would've taken precautions. On the other hand, they could've known about the situation before us. Otherwise, the cops wouldn't have arrived so quickly.” After hearing Lauren's analysis, | nodded. Still, | blamed myself, “I didn’t expect them to take advantage of Harmony’s fans.
Several days ago, | noticed someone inciting the fans in those posts. | didn’t think it would turn out so bad.” “They're obsessive fans for a reason. Those people are insane,” Lauren helplessly cursed.
1 wonder who called the authorities.” | had been pondering this question. “Don’t you think something's Ashy here? Where did those bodyguards cfrom?”
