It's very close to bedtime at the Lacourts' princely residence, and the head of the house looks with a certain apprehension at the only child who currently brings some sense of peace to his chest.

That night he is taking care of the little Virgo (he himself had insisted that his friend go out right after dinner to have some fun with the Taurus man in his desire to bring them closer together) an assignment that, as a rule, satisfies him, because the lilac is very sweet and intelligent, however, as soon as she saw her father leaving, the girl sulked, dismissing her persistent vivacity. It's been almost two hours since the little girl has been tracing the imaginary lines on the yellow skirt of her midi dress with her slender fingers. She shows signs of being unmotivated.

The Frenchman, already worried about the girl's melancholy behavior, decided to break the silence in the modern living room and ask:

-Saori, are you okay?

-Yes uncle Camus

-Because your face doesn't look sad

-It's no big deal, uncle

-Little one, you know you don't need to hide anything from me

Totally confident as only a child can be, Lilac blurts out:

-I'm just feeling alone and upset

-Why beautiful girl if everyone loves you?

-I don't know

The Greek girl clutches her favorite doll to her chest... The oldest decides to explore the issue further:

-Are you bothered by your father and Aldebaran's romantic approach?

-I... It's not exactly that, uncle... I... A part of me would like to have my parents living with me every day, because they are my family, but...

-But?

-They used to fight a lot... And I know that they are both happier apart from each other from the other, and that's all I want for them... Beautiful smiles

-Because I have the slight impression that you haven't said everything yet

-It's just that sometimes I think I'm a bad girl

-I don't understand why such nonsense goes through that butterfly head of yours

-I wasn't a good and pleasant enough daughter, that's why my parents got stressed and argued so much.

-You are an excellent girl, and you are not to blame for any of the adults' quarrels, do we understand, Saori?

-If that's the case, why has my mother come back here and still hasn't come to see me?

-How do you know that...

-This morning I accidentally heard dad talking to Shina and saying that she was nearby
