The girl appeared shy, her demeanor marked by a prolonged silence before she summoned the resolve to continue.

Ariana was taken aback by this revelation, her gaze now fixed on the girl. The young girl's appearance was innocent and youthful, adorned in a school uniform dress. She gave the impression of a well-behaved student on the cusp of graduation.

Blushing and stammering, the girl admitted, "I. I'm actually a devoted fan of underground rock music."

She glanced briefly at Tom before quickly averting her gaze, clearing her throat before she continued, “I'm a fan of Tom. I happened to be at the bar for a friend's birthday party. Unexpectedly, I ended up sitting at the table next to the group involved with drugs, and the police arrested us all. They even confiscated my phone. I'll be able to check it once I'm released."

In the wake of her narrative, Ariana and Tom found a spark of hope, a glint in their eyes.
