Seeing this, Karina finally let out a breath of relief. She walked over carefully, crouched beside the girl, and softly asked, "Are you okay?"

The girl's body tensed at the sound of Karina's voice. Slowly, she lifted her tear-streaked face, her red, swollen eyes resembling overripe peaches. Upon realizing it was Karina and Wilfred, she froze momentarily before turning her head away. Her voice was thick with sobs as she muttered, "Why are you here? Are you here to laugh at me?"

Karina quickly stepped closer, intending to comfort her, but before she could, the girl fixed her gaze on Wilfred.

Her emotions boiled over as she shouted hysterically, "Dr. Wilfred, can you just stay away from me? Seeing you makes me sick! I only want to talk to Karina alone. Leave! The farther, the better-don't hover in front of me!"

Wilfred frowned slightly, his expression tinged with helplessness. Yet, seeing how distraught the girl was, he didn't want to escalate the situation further. He glanced at Karina, silently reassuring her with his eyes, then turned and walked deeper into the park. His tall figure disappeared into the dense greenery, blending with the soft outlines of the distant trees until he was entirely out of sight.

The moment Wilfred was gone, the girl seemed to deflate like a punctured balloon. She wiped at her face with her hands, but her sobs continued to shake her shoulders uncontrollably.
