Daniel Peacock sometimes still comes over. He seems to get along well with Cherish's parents even though she never gives him a warm welcome. As if he couldn't see her dislike for him, he kept coming over. Inevitably, Cherish, unable to stand him, escapes to the ninth floor, hiding in William Griffith's room.
William always finds ways that Cherish can accept to cheer her up, making her devoted to him, time and time again.
Soon, the new year is over, and the first thing after the holiday is naturally Cherish's trip abroad. She briefly discussed it with her parents beforehand but didn't go into details. Even when Cherish was about to leave, her parents were not prepared. The relationship with her parents had grown a bit strained due to Daniel Peacock. Cherish thought going away for a while might be a good idea.
