### Summary
Kicking off a new season, the story finds Lihen slowly emerging from her grief, buoyed by the catharsis of her confession to Schdermel. In a significant shift, Schdermel is no longer a passive suitor; he now firmly asserts his own desire for happiness, presenting Lihen with a clear choice to either build a future with him or live with resentment. This new dynamic is tested by an unexpected social encounter with a rival, Lady Wayne. In a move that subverts genre tropes, Lady Wayne offers a formal apology for her past bullying, only to immediately follow it with a blunt, "I still don't like you." This moment of stark, almost brutal honesty has left readers divided, setting a complex and unpredictable tone for Lihen's path forward.
