Telicia asked, “What has everyone been eating in the orphanage lately? Are they having milk or vegetables, or something along those lines?”
shaking her head, Lydia replied. “You see, we’ve only been eating the most basic food lately even the milk is the same one we’ve been drinking for a while now. There’s never been an issue with it. I guess the only thing that changed was the pasta we had. It came from Regallo Charity Foundation, though, which has never been an issue before.”
Melody patted Lydia’s hand reassuringly, took a deep breath, and said, “It would be best to check both the milk and the pasta again.”

Melody, having been exhausted and anxious throughout the day, began to feel drowsy as soon as she sat in the car.
Jeremy’s preferences reflected lus clean and minimalist nature. His car air freshener, unsurprisingly, carried a crispy, minty scent.

She then woke up, only to realize that they had arrived at the basement parking lot.
Jeremy ordered coldly, “Get out of the car.”
Melody massaged her temples, still feeling the dizziness that came with just waking up. She then mumbled, “I’m feeling a bit dizzy.”
