As expected, Beth had fallen ill overnight. As much as Mina didn't want to leave her side, she knew she had to because she had work to do and she would add Beth's own with hers. The day continued like every other day. She helped Eve prepare and when they were done, she walked her to the lecture room. On the way, Eve noticed that she barely said a word since she came and she set her lips into a thin line, knowing exactly what it was.

"Mina," she called, looking at her, and when Mina turned her head to the side to look at her, she said, "I'm sorry. I know I told you I would stop, and I will." She said in an assuring manner.
