(POV: Lumiere)
After the chaos had settled, I was standing before Ophelia and Grome, with Anastasia by my side.
I gave a full explanation of my recent conversation with Alice.
Also, I filled them in on my plan.
Ophelia listened intently, her brows furrowing in concentration.
When I finished speaking, she raised a finger, signaling for a moment to gather her thoughts.
"Let me get this straight," she began. "You want me to organize a labyrinth exploration class as a way to bring Lumila and Elise together again?"
I nodded, my eyes firmly fixed on Ophelia.
Grome, who was silent until now, frowned and spoke up.
"But why does getting them back together even matter? What difference will it make?"
I met Grome's gaze. "You see, Elise has been suffering from a lack of confidence," I explained, my voice steady. "She's always been compared to Lumila, and people believe Lumila is better than her. It's been weighing on Elise, and I believe it's affecting her performance."
