Nina was about to put down the knife and head outside when Nash stopped her. "You still need to wash your hands. It's a hassle. I'll go get it."

"It's in my backpack. Just unzip it, and you'll find it," Nina replied, completely unguarded. She had nothing to hide, so she wasn't worried about him going through her bag.

Nash left the kitchen and, along with Orion, made his way to the entrance. "Hey, buddy, do you want to share how the singing competition went today?"

As he turned to head back, Orion accidentally stepped on a shoe nearby and almost fell. Nash rushed to catch him, but in the process, he accidentally knocked over Nina's bag, spilling its contents everywhere.
