A few months ago, in a study room of the dilapidated orphanage.
"…"
Sister Mary went through the billing books in a room that was full with other nuns of the orphanage, and workers.
Willow looked nervously at the book and kept seeing Sister Mary's expression keep changing, and not in a good way.
"The mayor contacted me yesterday. If we do not pay the required sum to keep our operations alive, he will shut down this orphanage and will tear it down to open up more space."
Sister Mary said with a sigh.
"How could he…"
"What about all these children?"
"It's fine. We just need to pay him!"
The sisters of the orphanage talked among themselves, and Sister Mary shook her head.
"It's not a sum that we can pay. In the whole lifetime of this orphanage, we haven't even earned half of the amount that we're required to pay.
"The mayor just gave a ridiculous sum, knowing that we can't pay that."
