Who do I remind you of?

"Are they alive?" Alice asked and Miss Stella shook her head.

"I have no idea." She said. "She ran away, and I haven't been able to come in contact with her. Even homing abilities can't find her." She sadly lowered her head. "Maybe it's because she ran away long before the apocalypse. She might as well be dead."

She smiled.

"But well, it's all in the past. I'm not trying to make you uncomfortable, so let's just focus on your hair. We don't want to be late."

She started brushing her hair again and styled it a different style from the previous day, and once she had done that, she stared at Alice in the mirror with her hands on her shoulders.

"There, you're all set." She announced.

Alice could feel Miss Stella's emotions even if she was smiling and hiding it. It was like it was weighing on her shoulder.
