The playful and affectionate banter among the three siblings just now made the other two present intensely envious, especially Hazel Jackson, who was so taken by it all.
"Alice! Lily! You have such a great relationship with your brother, and he's so adorable," Hazel expressed her envy openly. She was brimming with envy over the lovely bond between the siblings, watching them playfully bickering and feeling such joy.
Seeing the siblings' banter, she wanted to join in, but being an outsider, it wasn't really appropriate for her to participate.
Athena Linton, staying at home alone every day, never had anyone to play with like that. She found the playful chaos of the siblings so refreshing and exciting.
If Hazel hadn't stopped her, she would've rushed in to join the fun long ago.
"Alice! Goddess sister! I also want you two to 'bully' me like that," Athena desired to feel the unique joy of being playfully picked on.
"Are you a masochist or something?"
