Maddie’s Point of View The morning breeze gently caressed my cheeks as I savored the taste of my tea, perched on the balcony. As I glanced down at the sprawling trees below, I couldn't help but realize the vastness of this territory. It was not a mere small space, but an expansive expanse that could easily swallow you whole if you were unfamiliar with its every nook and cranny. It had been a month since I arrived here, and it had been weeks since I last laid eyes on Alphonse. Words had it that he was once again caught up in his responsibilities. The last time we talked to each other was the day I met Myra. Juno had informed me that Alphonse had urgent matters to attend to, as per his parents' request, and he couldn't possibly refuse. I couldn't help but wonder what could be so important.
