Elizabeth nodded, saying with conviction, "You punished those wrongdoers for me, so we're friends."

Alexander laughed, teasing her, "It was Emily who couldn't stand seeing them bully you and asked me to step in. I did it for my own sister; don't overthink it."

Elizabeth paused momentarily, her fleeting joy fading, returning to her indifferent demeanor.
She responded nonchalantly, "So, that's it."
So, Emily was her friend. No need to be on good terms with Alexander, then.
