4.2 Jealous Fiddles

Minglan gazed at Cass with confusion etched on her face. When he suddenly jumped, she was convinced he had met his demise. Just as she contemplated leaving, a noise caught her attention, and she observed him clambering back onto the roof.

It was a good thing she came to ensure his demise, Cass would die today. Minglan approached Cass, inquiring, "What happened, Cass?"

Cass, tilting his head, queried, "How did you know I was here?"

With a knowing look, Minglan responded, "A few people urging you to jump are live-streaming on Stellarnet."

Acknowledging the revelation, Cass nodded and attempted to leave. However, Minglan firmly grasped his wrist, prompting him to ask, "What are you doing?"

"I just want to make sure you won't take any dangerous steps to end your life. I understand the weight of the world and your parents' disapproval and hatred," Minglan explained earnestly.
