Bab 280: Marilyn's Letter

[Mary Kleine POV]

I stood still, my heart pounding in my chest as I stared at the scene unfolding before me. Ruu was embracing the girl in his arms tightly— who was she?

Pushing through the crowd in front of me, I felt a sense of urgency driving me forward. Each shove only seemed to push Ruu further away, while I remained trapped in a chaotic sea of bodies.

"Wait!" I cried out, desperation creeping into my voice.

But nobody paid attention. All eyes were on Ren, his gentle touch comforting the girl in his embrace. It was Raven!

My eyes widened as her features became clear, no longer obscured by the blur of the crowd. She buried her face in Ruu's chest, seeking solace in his embrace.

"DON'T TOUCH HIM! DON'T TOUCH MY RUU!!!" I screamed, my voice echoing through the crowd, but it fell on deaf ears.

Ruu turned to face me, his gaze locking with mine. Relief washed over me briefly, but it was quickly replaced by a gnawing sense of unease.
