Ms. Miko said and Lumine nodded as an answer. The raffle box started rolling and after a few seconds, it stopped. The people in that area stopped screaming as Lumine opened the small door and starts shuffling the small folded papers. Finally, she picked one paper and slowly opened it. She squinted her eyes and read the lucky winner.
"(Y/n) Gunnhildr."

I gasped. "W-What?! HOW?!" I stood up quickly. I couldn't believe what I heard from the small television. Barbara stood up to scream and hugged me until she pulled away. I looked at her to ask.
"Barbara?! Did you put my name?!" But she didn't answer me
"YES! FINALLY! THEY FINALLY PICKED YOU! WE DID IT!" Barbara kept cheering, dancing, and jumping around while Jean is smiling at her and me... speechless and having mixed feelings about what I heard. I held Barbara's shoulder and forced her to face me.
"Please! Answer me, Barbara. Did you put my name?" I asked again while looking at her eyes, waiting for her to answer.
"W-Well, I did... it for like 5 or 6 times a day or maybe 10 times a week!" She answered and she turned to continue celebrating.
"No... Why did you do that? You know I am working so hard for us and to cure Jean's sickness! Who is going to take care of both of you while I'm gone? Who is going to work for money?" I kept asking until I felt a hand on my right shoulder. I turned my head to see Jean, smiling at me.
"(Y/n)... this is our only hope. You have been working so hard and you earned enough money for us. Kaeya can take care of us while you're gone, I trust him. I can tell he is very happy from what he heard on the television."
"B-But... I am going to miss you guys..." I stuttered. I started crying a little bit. Barbara approached me and hugged me. Her height was about my chin, and I could rest my chin on her head, giving her also a hug.
"(Y/n), I know this is going to change your life, our life. I do believe that you deserve that crown!" Barbara pulled away a bit to look at me, smiling.
"Thank you Barbara, but... I'm scared." I looked down, pulling away from her.
"It's okay to be scared, it will be gone if you start fighting," Jean said. I looked up to her, knowing she is right. I can do this. It's time to do something new to make our life change and this might help me find who are my real parents. I took a deep breath and stood up straight.
"Okay, I will do it."
Both of them smiled as Barbara started jumping and cheering for me. As I was about to say something, a doorbell sound happened.
"Woah, they are already here?!" Barbara stopped cheering and headed towards the door to open, showing a big man wearing a black suit with black sunglasses resting on his nose.
