Thirtieth District.
Airport.
As soon as the plane landed and Qiao Sang turned off flight mode, she received a string of messages from Marlal:
[Why didn't you come find me today?]
[Does Flame Kiru still need practice at noon?]
[You didn't give up, did you?!]
[Actually, I think Flame Kiru still has a good chance!]
[By the way, if you don't need Xianbao Butterfly for the next stage, could you at least remember to check out the coordination tournament given all the training?]
Oh no, I forgot to let Marlal know... Qiao Sang replied:
[Sorry, I forgot to tell you. I had a last-minute change and went to another district. I'll continue training when I return.]
Marlal seemed glued to her phone and responded instantly:
[No worries, no worries! When will you be back?]
Qiao Sang replied while disembarking the plane: [Not sure yet.]
Marlal sent a string of [crying] emojis: [Can you make it back in time for the coordination tournament?!]
