Secret of Red Hair

Yohana had spent the previous night tossing and turning, unable to find solace in sleep. Her thoughts were consumed by the recent revelation about her mother and Runa. 

Her mother, whose gentle hands had always caressed her face, and whose loving embrace had comforted her during moments of tears.

It was inconceivable to her that the mother she held so dear in her memories, the one she had missed so profoundly, could be the same person capable of such a heart-wrenching act as abandoning her own child.

With disbelief gnawing at her, Yohana resolved to seek out Theodor once more. She excused herself from the city tour, leaving Henrie in the dark about the specifics of her private mission. Nevertheless, he intuitively grasped her need for solitude at this moment.

Hurrying toward Theodor, Yohana lifted her skirt as she rushed forward, her steps determined. Thea trailed behind, struggling to keep up with Yohana's brisk pace.
