The two sisters in the room saw this and laughed together.
But soon, Vivian Sullivan put away her smile, stood up, walked over to Summer Lowell, cupped Summer's face with both hands, and asked empathetically, "Are you unhappy here? Why have you lost so much weight, and your eyes don't shine like they used to."
They've been friends for many years, so familiar with each other that it's beyond words.
Summer was afraid she couldn't hold it together in front of Vivian, so she took advantage of tidying her pants to avoid Vivian's scrutiny.
Very quickly, Summer managed to temporarily suppress her emotions, but still couldn't completely hide the dejection in her voice, joking half-heartedly, "This is Stellarion, you know, big city, fast-paced, high pressure, much harder to handle than in Leonia."
Vivian clearly didn't believe her story, she half-squatted, staring straight at Summer, "This isn't the Summer Lowell I know, the Summer I know is a fighter who grows braver with setbacks."
