"Ah, you know her?"
"Yes, she works daily in the restaurant."
"Ah? Why does she work in a restaurant?"
"To earn tuition," said the girl, "she's from the Seed District."
Hewinia stopped in her tracks.
She turned her head and looked at Polly lying on the floor, who's eyes full of despair were quickly losing their vitality.
"Why, why..."
"I, I didn't want to attend the banquet... really... I didn't want to."
"Why did they come after me..."
She said this.

Hewinia shook her head.
