"Sorry," said Alice.

"Yes!" The woman stopped in her tracks,

"what's wrong?" asked the woman. Alice did not answer the woman's question. Because her eyes were still focused on the bloodstain on the woman's shirt.

"Oh, I forgot, we haven't met yet." The

woman extended her hand towards

Alice

"My name is Sea," she said with a smile.

Alice hesitated to take Sea's hand. But seeing Sea's sweet smile, made Alice finally want to shake Sea's gentle hand, It seemed that Sea was a good woman,

and as for the matter of blood, she didn't

need to panic and think too much. It

could be Sea is injured or maybe it's just

an ink stain.

"Hi Sea. I'm Alice," she said.

Then Alice asked to sit down.

"I'm glad finally have a new neighbor

like you," said Sea "Me too. And hope we can be good friends," Alice said hopefully.

"Of course." Sea smiled again.

"Ah, you brought a lot of food?"

"Yes, Alice, 1 brought it for you. I know you must be tired and don't have much food in stock. It's quite a journey from Oxford to London, and you also have to clean the house, you must be tired and don't have time to buy dinner," said Sea

"Ah, you're right. I haven't had time to

buy food yet, thank you," said Alice.

"You're welcome, Alice,

Alice drank Sea's hot tea, and Alice also ate, the snacks that Sen brought.

"Are you hungry?" asked Sea

"Yeah, sorry. I ate too greedily didn't I?"

asked Alice.

"It's okay, still have a lot of food in my

house, so let me get some more huht Sex

rose from her seat

"Stop!" Alice stopped at Sea. "Hmm?" Sea looked up. "why?" she

asked. "Ah, Seal I've had enough of eating this, you don't have to take it again for me," said Alice.

"No, let me get it for you!" Sea went to

get food for Alice.

And Alice again saw the bloodstains on

Sea's clothes.

"Oh, Sea..."

"Yes?" Sea looked back.

"What blood is that?" "Bloody" sea looked at her clothes

"Ah." she chuckled. "I was just making

strawberry juice, I accidentally spilled

IL" explains Sea.

"Strawberry juice?" Alice couldn't

believe it, because the texture of the

strawberry color and the blood were not

the same. There is a slight difference if

you pay attention.

"Oh, not strawberries, but apricots," said

She was starting to look strange, Alice

was a little suspicious, but Sea managed

to neutralize the situation.

"Eh, Alice, you live alone? Where's your

husband?

"Ah, husband Alice was silent for a

moment, "I just got divorced from my

husband," Alice replied.

"Wow?" Somehow Sea looks happy.

Alice had seen it, but Sea immediately

changed her expression.

"Ah... I'm sorry to hear you, but you don't

have to feel alone here, because I'm a

widow too," said Sea.

"Widow?" "Yes. Two months ago my husband died

in an accident," said Sea, looking down,

Alice's heart touched, she was sad to

hear Sea's story.

It turns out that Sea's household life is no

less bad than her life.

"Sea." Alice put her hand on Sea's

shoulder, Tm also sorry for what

happened to your husband."

Sea nodded with a smile. "Thank you.

but I'm fine, this has become my destiny."

she said.

After that Sea left Alice's house and

she came back with pancakes and

sandwiches.

"Wow, you brought me a lot of food,"

Alice asked.

"Ah, then in my house no one eats," she

"You live alone too?" Sea nodded, "Yes,"

Alice also nodded in understanding with

a smile.

"I'm grateful to be your neighbor, I think, we'll be good friends," said Alice "Of course!" replied the sea.

"Actually I'm not purely alone, sometimes my children and in-laws come to visit me," said Sea. "Wow, it turns out that your daughter went with your in-laws?"

"Yes,"

"Sorry, Sea, then why don't you take care

of your child. That way you won't feel

alone anymore?"

"Well, it's true what you say, Alice, but my daughter Clara is more comfortable

living with her grandparents, I just want

my daughter to live comfortably. Besides.

I also feel comfortable living alone," she

explained.

"Wow, you are a wonderful woman. Sea. I thought my life was very difficult, but it turns out that your life is much heavier than mine, but you can live it lightly without a burden, which means you are

a strong woman," said Alice.

"Well, of course, I am a strong woman,

and no one can match me, everyone

here, I control it" said Sea.

"Hah!?" Alice was slightly taken aback and didn't understand what those words meant.

"Eh, you're taking me too seriously again,

Fin just amusing myself. Alice. What

I said earlier was a joke, but when it

comes to my husband's death and my

daughter's fate, it's true!" said Sea

"Haha! I have fooled again, after all, you are too mysterious and like a scary woman, Alice teased

"Ah? Haha!

It didn't feel like the night was getting

late, then sea said goodbye to Alice. Alice

locked the door tightly and she began to

rest.

The next day, she wakes up early and

immediately gets ready to go to the

restaurant, where Felix works

Alice was very enthusiastic, it was her

first day on the job.

Alice is about to leave by riding Felix's bicycle, which was deliberately lent to Alice. The restaurant wasn't too far away, but Alice wanted to arrive early and wanted to make a good impression on her first

day of work.

Just as she came out of the courtyard,

Alice was startled by a mentally retarded young woman approaching her The woman's face was covered in bruises. Looks like she needs her help. Alice approached, "Hello, what are you

doing? Can I help you?" she asked.

The woman spoke in sign language she

was mute.

Alice didn't know what the woman's

words meant.

And before long. Sea came out, as usual.

she smiled kindly.

"What happened to you?" asked Sea,

holding the woman's shoulder gently.
