"Ha! Tell that to yourself from last night, who was crying in my arms! I know my embraces are warm and comforting. You're just acting like you're too good for me!" Uzana responded with a mocking tone.

"Shut up! You were the one who pulled me into your embrace! Not the other way around! You're acting like I asked you to embrace me! You were trying to take advantage of a frightened young woman!" Adeline shot back with frustration.

"Oh, really?! Then why were you crying so comfortably in my arms?!" Uzana challenged her with a smug expression.

As the quarrel continued between Adeline and Uzana, Sophia watched them with a smile, finding their banter amusing.
