Crystal's POV:
I walked up to Firman, helped him up from the ground, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his face.
I could feel the little boy trembling with fear as he looked at me. "Thank... Thank you."
I smiled at him gently. "You're welcome. If something like this happens again in the future, go to your teacher, okay?"
Firman stuck out his lower lip and lowered his head sadly. "I can't. There are too many of them."
The despair in his words pricked my heart. I could recall being in the same situation, bullied and abused as a young child.
I took a deep breath and comforted him. "Trust me. At least they'll know that they'll be punished if they're ever mean to you again."
"And you can also come to me. I'm going to be a student here. If they bully you, I'll kick their butts!" Beryl swung her small fists aggressively. Firman looked at Beryl in bewilderment and thanked her.
Beryl jutted out her chin and said proudly, "No need to thank me. It's my duty to help the weak and punish the bad!"
Amused, I wanted to reach out to touch Beryl's head, but she dodged.
I withdrew my hand awkwardly and wondered why Beryl was avoiding me again.
"Maybe you're not wearing the right mask today." Rufus cast a sidelong glance at me. In fact, it seemed he was the one who disliked my mask.
I touched my mask dubiously and murmured, "Really? I think it's beautiful."
Moreover, this mask fit my mysterious image. It was shaped like a purple butterfly. It was elegant!
Rufus didn't look at me anymore, as though he felt speechless.
Smiling awkwardly, I pulled out two lollipops from my pocket. One for Firman and the other for Beryl.
Firman took his obediently. "Thank you."
I smiled and turned to Beryl.
To my disappointment, the little girl refused my lollipop. She buried her head into Rufus' neck and clearly didn't want to talk to me.
"What's wrong, Baby Beryl? It's Mommy. Why don't you want to talk to me?" Feeling wronged, I tried to get near her. I didn't know what I had done to make her shun me like this.
Rufus pressed the back of his hand against Beryl's forehead. He likely thought Beryl was not feeling well, but it turned out that she was fine.
Beryl lowered her eyes and refused to look at me. I went in front of her and tried to make her laugh, but Beryl then burst into tears.

I felt terrible. It seemed that Beryl's attitude towards me had reverted to the time when she had just lost her memories.
"If Baby Beryl doesn't like gorillas, then how about bunnies?" I refused to give up, hoping that Beryl would accept me one way or another.
