The wounds Chloe suffered were not deep, but there were too many of them, causing her to lose a lot of blood. Even after the treatment, she was told to stay in the infirmary until morning to recover from the blood loss. Vlad stayed by her side until evening, only leaving after she fell asleep. He left a note beside her, asking her to call him if she needed anything.

"Hello, we meet again," Lily said, waving a hand at Vlad with a bright smile. He had just appeared on the roof of the dormitory, holding a violin case in his hand.
"Aren't you early?" Vlad asked, settling beside her with his legs hanging over the edge. "The sun is still out."
The last rays of the setting sun painted their faces in golden light. Vlad had only seen Lily beneath the faint moonlight before. He had already admitted that she was ethereal, like a goddess, but now, under the fading sunlight, her features seemed even more enchanting.
