Xiu spent about fifteen minutes turning the box up and down, but no matter what she did, she couldn't open the box. She even shook it to check what's inside but still nothing. There was no keyhole or password. She was really going crazy trying to figure out how this thing actually opened.
At one point, she wanted to just smash it but held herself back since it seemed important to the real Bai Xiu. "How am I supposed to open this?" she asked in exasperation but when no one answered, she looked up to realize that she was the only person on the dining table. "Where did everyone go?" she asked no one in particular.
While she scratched her head, she heard voices coming from Nora's room which went something like, "Look at this mess. Do you call it a room? It looks like a dumpster."
"Mom, everything is fine here. I clean my room every weekend," came Nora's reply.
Xiu pursed her lips and shook her head as she murmured, "Who is supposed to help me now?"
