Today, the apartment's main gate was not closed.
So, when Ronald was descending the stairs, he saw a little boy hiding behind the gate, carefully peering out.
And outside the apartment...
Ronald's exceptional hearing allowed him to detect the sounds of other children playing, they were probably engaged in some kind of hide-and-seek game.
In such a courtyard, a familiar silhouette stood.
——Sure enough, it was Patricia.
However, unlike when she met Berenger, Patricia's platinum blonde hair was now tied into a classic princess braid, fastened only with a simple pale yellow hairband.
As for her specific clothing...
In the city where Patricia lived, there was no sign of weapons on her person, not even a decorative sword, and her clothes were simple and facilitating movement.
Overall, the look,
Always aligned with her character.
At that moment, Patricia stood tall, leaning against the wall with a smile in her eyes as she watched the boy at the door.
