Sera and the others continued to talk outside the tents for twenty minutes straight. They eventually asked Henry to speak with Vicky, but upon returning, the tents seemed emptier.
Many parents went home or to work, leaving their children here. Everyone waited for Vicky, playing together; however, they were now gone.
They all looked at each other, then rushed towards the smaller tent's entrance. Before entering, they heard laughter echo from inside, but none of them processed it. They let their worry towards Vicky lead them.
All three stepped inside with concerned expressions, but what they found was truly heartwarming. Sera feared the other kids might bully or make fun of her daughter, but the exact opposite happened.
They were all sitting on her bed, painting each other's arms, necks and faces with ink, making lines similar to Vicky's scars. They all laughed and giggled while doing so. Vicky was painting a seven-pointed star on Lydia's forehead when her parents burst inside.
