Ari immediately raised his hand, and when it seemed that the MC was just going to skip past him, he raised his voice.
"Excuse me, MC, I have a question."
"Yes, contestant Ari?"
"Can you share the reason that Jelissa is no longer here? Will we get a chance to say goodbye?"
"I'm sorry, I don't have a lot of details, but I assume that something important came up. Otherwise, she would continue because I know how much she loved being a mentor to you all. As for getting to say goodbye, I'm not too sure about that. You might have to ask the production team. Does that answer your question?"
"Sure. Thank you. I'm sorry for the interruption."
Hearing the MC's polite answer and seeing William's smug smile, Ari had a sick feeling in his stomach that Jelissa's leaving was somehow his fault.
It was just too abrupt otherwise.
