Carmen chased him until she was out of breath, only stopping when he disappeared into the distance.

Carmen clung to the iron gate, desperation clear in her voice. "I need to see Mr. and Mrs. Fuller! Letin!" "They're not home," the maid replied coolly. "Even Mr. Sebastian isn't here. Why don't you try the Walsh family if it's something urgent?" Carmen froze for a moment before quickly jumping back into the cab. "To the Walsh residence," she told the driver.
The Fuller residence was draped in mourning.

She was the youngest daughter of the Walsh family and had always been doted on by her father.

Myra knelt before Clive's photograph, tears streaming down her face as fragments of childhood memories surfaced-memories of his strong, reassuring hand holding hers, his arms lifting her up in laughter, and the warmth of his embrace when she stumbled.
"I shouldn't have been so stubborn," she choked out. "I shouldn't have ignored you all these years.gom you all shouldn't have let my anger keep us apart... Dad, I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry..."
