-Sunday at the Rennes mansion’s veranda-
Zio and his busted arm sit in the middle of a couch with his sister on his lap chewing cookies. It’s nine in the morning and he is already meeting a lot of people.
“ ...Care to explain why there’s a lot of people here? ” Zio glanced at some people he has never seen before, before staring right to Gissel’s eyes.
“ Before we start talking about things, let’s be friends with each other first. ” Gissel put down her cup of tea and open her arms to welcome everyone like a proper host should be.
“ Let me introduce you to Dorothy, Elson, and Landon... ”
All the three of them slightly bowed their head in a hospitable manner. Then, Gissel continued to introduce the remaining of the guests, people whom Zio already knew about; Mikhail, Cecilia, and Bella, with the last two clinging on to his sides.
