Cora noticed that Xuan seemed suspicious of her after she had answered his question, but she didn't say anything about it. Honestly, she couldn't blame him. She figured she would've thought the same thing if she was in his position. She watched Mimi, Luna, and Xuan leave for different rooms, blushing when Winter noticed and winked at her. She soon sank back to the floor and curled her fin towards her and wrapped her arms around her fin, just like she was hugging her knees on land, and lowered her head, begging to herself silently to wake up from this dream. She eventually fell asleep in that position. 

Luna had stayed back a bit and watched Cora curl up strangely and she could hear her whisper to herself, telling herself to wake up. Luna swam and soon heard the boys' whispered conversation. She rolled her eyes before she swam off to her own corner. She was curious about the stranger, but she could see that this stranger clearly meant no harm. Soon she too drifted off to sleep
