Navin pursed his lips after hearing Lucia's story about the old lady she met back in the forest. That answered his questions about Lucia's disappearance for hours, but she was only at the same spot.
"I see. Well, perhaps she's one of our neighbors," Navin replied to assure Lucia that nothing suspicious was happening. He didn't want her to panic and ruined Gastone's chance even more.
"Yeah… I guess," Lucia scratched her head and laughed timidly. "I-I should go back inside. I need to pack my things…" she added and stood up from the seat.
"Are you really going?" Navin asked curiously, indicating about her leaving.
Lucia stopped and thought about it for a few seconds. She turned around and offered a tight smile to Navin.
"Yes, it's for the best," Lucia replied before exiting.
Navin sighed and watched Lucia went away. His eyes glanced toward the window overlooking their spot.
