When Celeste came out of the restroom, ten minutes had already passed.

After having dinner with Lottie, she suddenly felt the urge to visit the nursing home.

But remembering Isabelle’s condition and the director’s instructions that she shouldn’t see familiar people, she hesitated.

She had already driven to the entrance of the nursing home, but in the end, she didn’t go inside and just drove back home.
