"Mielle!" Vera called out, her words almost feeling like a distance away. She stood up quickly, did she come here because of Asterias? What had happened? She wasn't here in the past and yet, here she was, looking at dresses with anxious eyes.

"Mielle?" Vera queried, she looked utterly confused. A knowing smile crossed her lips as she looked at the older girl.
