When Deming returned to the room to find Lifen back, she was not there. He searched the whole room for her and at the end caught her hiding in the closet, sobbing alone looking at a picture frame.
Seeing her in such a vulnerable state, his heart ached. Walking to her, he asked crouching down on the floor. "Little Cat! Don't give yourself so much pain. You, yourself, know that it's not your fault. Don't blame yourself like this" he said as his fingers went to caress her hairs softly.
But her sobbing did not stop. She still cried looking at the picture as if demanding the people inside to give her the explanation, she was demanding for.
"Little Cat, are you hearing me? Don't blame yourself. You are not at the fault", he said as he extended the glass water to her which she had ignored at first. "Here … drink this water first. Don't give yourself forced pain."
