The door closed, leaving the three children alone, with two sitting on the plain white bed.
The other stood silently at the entrance, his back against the closed door.
Ji Minghuan and Kong Youling had their heads together, raising their eyebrows and opening their eyes wide, curiously examining the boy's wolf ears and the tail that had coiled entirely around on the ground.
"He looks like a puppy," Kong Youling scribbled in the notebook.
Ji Minghuan nodded absentmindedly.

For a moment, the three in the confinement room exchanged glances, each unsure of the other's arrival, with Filio clueless about what to do, just standing there dumbly.
"Ah, there's a big puppy!" Ji Minghuan suddenly shouted, pointing to Filio's tail dragging on the ground.
