Suspicions

Lucian sighed.

"At least let me explain. Why are you all"

He shook his head, taking a step back, creating distance between himself and the others.

"Say nothing. I will explain."

Celestia remained silent on the side, her thoughts a storm of conflicted emotions.

I almost lost control... I should've paid attention. How did I even think of that? I shouldn't hurt darling... It's women's... but if he really no, no, no, Celestia, how can you be so senseless?

Her golden eyes flickered with hesitation, battling with herself internally.

Rose is Lucian's sister. You should be showing concern for him first... But he... he goes there at night secretly...

"Go on," Olivia said, looking at Lucian.

Lucian hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"Rose's friend invited her last night, right? I don't know why she went, but" He took a breath. "At some point in the night, she called me. She said she was feeling weird."
