Bianca stomped her feet in frustration but couldn’t express her anger. Unable to gain an advantage, she decided to visit the school in the afternoon to find a child to replace herself.

When school ended, few people remained, just a few students cleaning the classrooms. Despite the old equipment and basic facilities, these girls cherished them, diligently cleaning every corner.
