Mark felt unsettled by what had happened but was glad Suzie had not been harmed. Now, he only needed to find Rika, and things would return to normal.
But he wanted to avoid involving Suzie during that search.
Mark, deeply concerned for Suzie's well-being after the recent events, decided to find Rika himself, hoping to keep Suzie safe and calm.
Mark expected Suzie to nod and go to their mother and father. But instead, Suzie looked stubborn, which worried Mark.
He suddenly had a feeling that he was going to get annoyed at Suzie.
"Mark, you should come with me as well. Rika will take care of herself. She has always been right in such situations, right? There is no need for us to be worried about her."
Suzie desperately tried to drag Mark back to the party. She wanted to avoid having Rika found and brought back.
Mark could see Suzie's dark desires, but he tried to hide them so she would not be hated.
