Lina's thoughts turned to her lost friendship with Gia, and a sense of sadness washed over her.

Keira noticed that something was amiss. "What's wrong? Don't you like this?" she asked.

Lina shook her head and forced a smile. "It's not that... It's delicious, thanks, Keira. I'm lucky to have you around when I'm feeling down."

"Hehe, don't say that!" Keira scratched her head. "Lina, I've always wanted to be your friend. I'm so happy to have the chance to get closer to you today!"

"Weren't we always friends?" Lina asked.

"No..." Keira's voice softened. "I mean friends like Gia and you."

Lina's eyes darkened at the mention of Gia.

"Lina, I used to think you were extraordinary. An exceptional girl like you should have exceptional friends. I'm just... ordinary and average. I don't match up to you at all," Keira confessed.

Lina smiled humbly. Her smile was pure and innocent, radiating a gentle star-like glow.

But in Keira's eyes, Lina was a star beyond reach.

Lina held Keira's hands.

The warmth that Keira brought began to dispel the lingering coldness from the loss of Gia.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Warm-hearted people would naturally attract one another, while cold-hearted people would drift apart with time.

Lina spoke earnestly. "Keira, thank you sincerely."

"Aw, you're too kind!" Keira burst into laughter, like a fangirl receiving recognition from her idol. "Are you feeling down, Lina?"

"I suppose..." Lina replied.

"Is it because of Violet's incident? Don't worry. Gia is the one at the police station, not you! You should just live your life as usual. There's no need to let someone else's mistake ruin your mood!" Keira reassured Lina.

Lina forced a smile. "I'm not in a bad mood because of them. It's my husband who isn't picking up my calls..."

"Huh?" Keira, who had never been in love, couldn't fully understand the melancholic feeling.

But seeing that Lina was upset, she silently cursed Lina's husband several times. She then carefully considered what to say to cheer her up. "Oh, Lina! I read online that the wishing stars in Southeast Aciatic can make dreams come true!"

"Really?" Lina's smile brightened. "My husband said the same thing."

Keira's expression turned bitter. "Everything reminds you of him..."

Lina was taken aback, but then she burst into laughter.

Keira asked curiously, "Lina, what is it like to have feelings for someone?"

"It's... wanting to see him all the time," Lina replied.

Keira felt a tinge of longing for that kind of connection.

Just then, Lina's phone, which had been silent, suddenly rang. It was a video call!

"Zeke?" Lina was surprised and delighted.

Keira smiled tactfully, patting Lina's shoulder. "Seems like the person you want to see all the time is here. I'll leave you to it!"

Grateful for Keira's understanding, Lina watched her friend leave happily and then answered Zeke's video call.

"So you didn't forget about me?" She pouted, pretending to be angry as she looked away.

Zuko smiled warmly.

Behind him stretched an endless night sky adorned with a dazzling display of stars.
