After Lucy and Lua left, the meeting came to an end of its own volition. Elly took Rina's hand and the two of them left the apartment. Yoojung opened her book and started reading. Doyeon tried unsuccessfully to get Yoojung's attention, then put her shoes on and left the apartment. Suyeon pulled Sei off the arm of the chair and into her lap. Putting her hand on Sei's abs, she leaned over as if she was going to whisper in her ear, then started nibbling on her earlobe. Sei giggled.

She sat up and rested her head on Lua's shoulder. "I'm so frustrated! It's like Suyeon gets everything! She gets Sei, she gets to be the leader - and nothing bad happens to her because of what she did! What's wrong with me?"   Lua put her arms around Lucy and started her hair.
