Plans for the closing ceremony?

Lumiere & Lucretia Arc.

---

(POV: Lumiere)

Evening.

Now, winter had massively reduced. It was almost nonexistent.

The time for the closing ceremony had arrived.

Regrets about the sexy note lingered, but it wasn't worth complaining about now.

I slipped into my exquisite attire for the evening.

This time, Stellaria was surprisingly being helpful. Something I found occasionally hard to believe.

When I was depressed, I didn't see her once. So, seeing her being so helpful now did feel a little off. In the end, I didn't have a problem with it either way.

She floated gracefully behind me.

Her delicate hands deftly intertwined my long locks into a braid, but something in her expression hinted at hesitation.

I couldn't directly see her face seeing as she was behind me, but the mirror I was standing in front of made it easier.
