By Thursday... she wasn't completely herself. We couldn't find her before curfew. Xie Lian, Hua Cheng, and me.

(There was so much to cover and when they couldn't find her... they'd met up and knew what would likely happen. That whole time, they'd both been thinking about it at the back of their minds.)

We didn't know exactly what would happen... but we had an idea. Either she'd get better like I did or she'd be dead. Even if we found her, we knew we couldn't help her but at least she wouldn't have been alone.
