A week later, Delphine was discharged from the hospital and hosted the wrap-up party for the film. *When You're Lonely, Who Will You Miss?* was scheduled to premiere on the third day of the new year.
After the movie's post-production was completed, Leah called from abroad, saying she'd return home for New Year's Day, just in time for the film's premiere.
Delphine cleaned out a room on the third floor and bought new bedding. She added some decorations based on Leah's preferences to make the room warm and cozy.
When Leah returned to the Imperial City, snow was falling heavily. She was wrapped up in thick winter clothes, wearing fluffy white earmuffs, and tugging a cumbersome suitcase behind her. The moment she saw Delphine, she dropped the suitcase by her side and called out hoarsely, "Delphine Carter, aren't you coming over to help me with my luggage? It's really heavy!"
Delphine couldn't help but laugh. She stepped through the snow and reached out to pull Leah into a hug.
