It's none of our business
While Kai Xin was on the way to the meeting, she thought about the times she used to spend with Alyssa when they were young.
She recalled that before her parents' divorce, they went to the same primary school and that Alyssa joined them when it was nearly the end of the school term.
Before the teacher introduced her to the class, she explained that because the new kid had lost her mother, they should be nicer to her.
However, she was still ostracized by the others. Even Kai Xin ignored her at first.
However, somehow they became good friends after that.

17 years ago, Little Kai An took his little sister out to play with the other children from the neighbouring villages.
It was almost Lunar New Year and the adults were too busy to pay any attention to them.
On the way, they bumped into Little Alyssa who was sitting alone at the small village playground with a half eaten bun in her hands.
