[Alice found the temporary gathering place of the villagers.]
[When farmers lose their land and come to a brand new city, the only solace they can find is the connection with their former fellow villagers.]
[After losing their land and moving to Andrew City, the villagers clustered in this district.]
[They work hard every day, yet the meager wages barely cover rent, forcing many families to share a single room.]
[Alice didn't need to look far, as she could hear her aunt's shouting from a great distance.]
[She stood afar, watching silently.]
[She didn't like her aunt, but she couldn't say that she hated her either.]
[Although her aunt treated her as free labor, she hadn't sold Alice off.]
[Anna stood beside Alice.]
["Aren't you going?" Alice asked Anna, "Your mother must be very worried about you."]
[Anna's mother loved her, but there was nothing she could do about Anna being kidnapped by villains, a fact that both Alice and Anna understood well.]
