Marie could not help but pinch her arm as she stopped herself from shaking.
"I always thought that Miss Marie would be the one who would receive the blessing. It turns out that— ." Dorothy had a look of worry on her face as she blinked at Marie. "I apologize Miss Marie.

"Oh— it seems that no one would receive the blessing— " someone from behind them uttered. "Isn't it a pity?"
"There is still one," someone said.
