Once Sarah and Aziel had separated, Ariana broke into a smirk, teasing, “So, you two are back together? Feeling better? You can't just keep calling it quits every time. Dodging issues is not the solution."

Feeling rather cheery, Sarah whirled towards Ariana and shot back, "Oh really? What about you? You seem quite adept at giving advice to me, but your romantic affairs are in shambles."

Sarah's retort brought Theodore to Ariana's mind, who had been gone for half a month. Her smile faded, her mood dropped, and her eyes brimmed with sorrow.

Seeing this, Sarah realized her slip of the tongue and quickly apologized, “I didn‘t mean to... Are you alright?"

She was aware of Theodore's absence and had merely spoken without thinking. Seeing Ariana's spirits sink, Sarah felt a pang of worry.
