Anne's emotions appeared to have calmed down after Rhode returned to the Fortress. She wasn't behaving extremely differently, at the very least. Rhode let Anne stayed by his side for the time being to check on her situation. No one could give an accurate explanation of Anne's behaviors. Although one's emotions might be affected during the change of season, a change as dramatic as Anne's was rarely seen. Gillian was the only one who seemed to know what was going on with Anne. This cunning fox-eared young lady currently was out of the Land of Atonement and handling some matters following Rhode's orders. Even so, she heard about Anne's situation from Rhode's spiritual communications. But she wasn't worried about it.
