At the suggestion of Hilia and Benovia, Anarce reluctantly told Mier about Benovia asking a Priest to treat her.
Along with Benovia deliberately spreading the news, and since Mier's father was gravely injured at Benovia's place, in the days that followed, Mier indeed stopped looking for Anarce.
She didn't even seek out Hilia, became silent all day, no longer wandered around with her old friends, and just like Anarce, left after class and was absent-minded during lessons.
With no one bothering her, Hilia was naturally quite happy and managed to complete all second-year subjects and memory reinforcement within the time Rose required, without a hitch.
