Annabel was exhausted after the first Hedge's Maze exam, but she maintained a proper and composed facade while Merry and Mourn held the special dinner. After it was over, her only desire was to see you, alone, at your shared dormitory. As her group walked, they divided into smaller parts, with each member heading to their respective rooms.

She then proceeded to open the door, her face instantly showing how tired she was. For you alone, she had left herself completely defenseless. You were the only one allowed to see Annabel in such a state. Her eyes then found you, seeing how you slightly opened your arms and invited her for an embrace.

Annabel promptly accepted the silent invitation, embracing you tightly as her face rested on your chest, her eyes closed and letting out a sigh of relief.
