As they left, Ember's heart was in turmoil, and tears welled up, cascading down her cheeks. She couldn't help but wonder if Emir was hiding something from her, and the uncertainty weighed heavily on her. Her mind was a whirlwind of questions: "Why is he hiding this? Could the girls be right? I've heard emir call him 'Dylan,' and Miss Xiao starts conversations with 'Dylan.' Ah! My head hurts just thinking about it. Why is he hiding... maybe he has his reasons that he hasn't told me. What should I do?"

A gentle knock on the door disrupted her thoughts. Emir's voice broke through, calling her name, "Knock, knock... Ember, are you there?"

"Yes, coming," she replied, hastily wiping away her tears. She made up her mind to have a conversation with herself, determined to find some clarity. She thought, 'He will tell me if he wants to, and that's okay. I'll wait for it.'

However, before she could gather her thoughts, Emir interrupted, saying, "You're taking too long; I'm coming in." Panic surged within her as she replied, "No," but it was too late, and he entered the room.

"Why are you...?" Ember began to ask, her voice trembling with a mixture of emotions.
