Cecilia returned to the empty room when she fell unconscious. There was nothing there, so empty that Cecilia no longer knew whether she was asleep or awake. Cecilia continued to be in that state until a force seemed to pull her back. Cecilia was shocked. The second time she opened her eyes, she was finally in a familiar place.
"Cecilia..."
When Cecilia turned her head, she saw Cedric and a woman she had never met before. Cecilia was silent. It only took her a few seconds to process what had happened before she fell unconscious.
"I'll go out first."
Whether it was because the strange woman noticed the atmosphere between Cecilia and Cedric or because of something else, she excused herself before even formally introducing herself to Cecilia. In the room, now only Cecilia and Cedric were left. Cecilia was silent. She was weighing what kind of question she should ask the man first.
"Cecilia..."
