For the first time since the red queen's arrival, Walther felt sorry for the girl and decided to try to open his heart to her presence.
Walther also managed to persuade his comrades in Oostven to open up to Katie. They are kind, friendly, and understanding towards Katie, but the girl avoided him and never smiled. Katie only let the women approach her, which Walther could understand.
Katalina felt uncomfortable when a stranger approached her, especially men. Because of that, Walther tried to get close to her in other ways. All the men at Oostven have followed suit.
They remained acts friendly but did not do anything the girl doesn't like. They treat Katie like a member of their family. Because their average age was above thirty, they considered Katie like their little sister.
