Contrary to what Noelle expected, the members of the 'Crimson Rose Sisters' didn't actually mock or harass her for hurting Emilia. In fact, both Dixie and Crystal seemed to either be unaware of what happened, or didn't seem to care for it much.
It didn't bring Noelle any relief, however. The fact that they didn't know about it now didn't mean that they wouldn't discover everything later, given Sam was also a part of their group, and she knew everything very well.
It was also possible that they knew everything but pretended not to know about it, but the gray-haired girl had no way of making sure anyway without asking, and that… Noelle didn't dare to do at all.
She didn't even feel comfortable talking in the group chat except for responding to their initial queries and greetings, and only silently observed their conversations from time to time.
Thank you for all your support! >_<
