ALPINA

Quon couldn’t help but feel the urge to interject, thinking, “There’s definitely some grudge here,” but he kept his mouth shut, determined not to get involved in any unnecessary trouble. Since he didn’t know exactly what had happened in the past, it wasn’t his place to speak, nor was he in a position to do so. Memories shared only by the people involved can only be understood by those same individuals. 


Even so, having been with them constantly throughout the journey—never once apart during meals or rest—he could vaguely imagine the cause. He felt confident that if Alpina was being blamed, there could only be one reason. Even Albert, upon hearing this, would likely nod in understanding. 


Her arrogance and overbearing attitude were so emblematic of her that they served as a perfect representation of her character. Even if you barely knew her, once you experienced it, it stuck with you like a vivid imprint in your mind, hard to forget and easy to recall.
