**Episode 4: The Mystery of the Stranger**
As usual, **Luni** wakes up and rubs her eyes. Suddenly, she realizes the time and shouts, "Oh no! I'm late!" She rushes to the restaurant as fast as she can and immediately dives into her work.
**In the Afternoon:**
Luni says to the manager, "Manager, I am taking a half-day today. I hope that is not a problem?" The manager thinks for a moment and says, "Luni, this is the first time you are taking a half-day." Luni replies, "I just want to spend some time with myself." The manager nods, "Alright, spending time with yourself is a good thing."
Luni steps out of the restaurant and begins to walk. Suddenly, a mysterious boy appears right in front of her. Luni thinks to herself, *'This boy doesn't look like he belongs to this city. Has he come from another country?'*
The stranger stops near Luni and asks, "Excuse me, is this Aúthoritian City?" Luni replies, "Yes, the city you are talking about is this very city." The mysterious boy says, "Finally, I have reached here. I have been searching for this city for 8 years."
Luni asks, "Which city have you come from?" The stranger replies, "I was raised in this city, but I was sent away to another one."
The mysterious boy walks away, but Luni watches him from behind and wonders, *'If he was raised in this city, why did he go to another one? And who sent him?'* Many questions were spinning in Luni's mind, but she eventually turned back and continued on her way.
