Her life was the same again, with the added company of her family being the only difference.

Noemi stayed in Skrix for a while. Accompanied by Gail, she slowly warmed up to Rosalynn, moving past their initial estrangement.

Though not fully open-hearted, this shift in Noemi's attitude brightened Rosalynn's spirits.

Brian, too, was pleased with his mother's gradual change.

The only sour note was Lyndon's extended stay in the Moreno couple's place due to business, which Brian found bothersome.

Two weeks later, Karina invited Rosalynn to join her at the Skrix Art Institute to watch the director Brewster Riley's casting, and she happily accepted.

They met up at the institute.

Karina observed the students on the campus, commenting enthusiastically.

“Art schools are brimming with attractive young men and women. Rosa, don't you think that guy looks handsome? And look at that girl, she has such a great aura..."

Rosalynn listened to Karina's continuous remarks, responding occasionally.

Remembering the scriptwriter Tilda, she inquired, "Where's Tilda? Is she coming too?"

Karina replied, "I did call her, but she seems tied up with something."

Rosalynn nodded, sensing that Tilda must have her own secrets.

She was curious about the nature of those secrets.

Together, they proceeded towards the auditorium.

As they passed the basketball court, they noticed it was bustling with activity.

At this moment, on the court, two squads of men in red and blue jerseys were battling it out in a basketball game.

Above it, there hung a banner of red.

As it happened, the Skrix Art Institute and Skrix University were engaged in a friendly basketball match.

Rosalynn had completed her studies. She was well-acquainted with the intercollegiate basketball friendship matches.
