I sat on the bed and looked at everyone with emotionally broken eyes, like I couldn't even cry, I could suffer in silence. But I felt someone sobbing inside me, if I spoke, tears started to fall. So excusing myself would be a good thing.

A few moments, Li and I shared an intimate moment out in the lily pond. The cook was preparing a dish for our engagement, hence we should wait.
"Jin?"
"Yes, Li?"
She looked at me, saying, "Do you remember the wind incident? You don't right?"
I looked at my pearl and shook my head. "So much happened. But they weren't good. One person was injured because of the wind..." I held the Pearl and tried successfully to stop my fist from shaking.
"It weren't for my healing skills, he would've died...his torso was bleeding, there was little I could do...very little." My eyes watered with emotion, and some of my tears fell on the emerald ground.
As I buried my face in my hands, Li embraced me to stop me from crying.
"I can't..."
In that moment, the beautiful spirit of the Blue wisps came in front of me. She looked at me. "Don't cry. I know how bad it was. Jin, do you count how many people were killed?"
I wiped my eyes, recovering myself in the foot of company. "No. I don't count people who are dead."
Then the spirit disappeared and vanished in the fountain. All of a sudden, junior baby mascots coated in blue walked towards us.
I looked at them. Were they magical?
