Ariana considered Adele's odd behavior, aware that Adele had been spending time with Sadie recently, which might be part of the reason why Adele was acting like this now.

However, since Sadie was Adele's mother, Ariana felt it wasn't her place to intervene.

This realization saddened Ariana, but she simply stroked Melon's head and continued walking without further discussion.

Meanwhile, back in the ward, Adele continued to cry and yell for her mother.
