“No, no, it’s fine. You don’t need to do that,” Stella said, her words coming out rushed.
Matthew walked straight to her.
“The streetlights are also broken, so let’s go.”
Stella stayed silent.

She quickly regained her composure.
“I’m fine, I’m not scared. Thank you.”
Matthew didn’t press further. He looked ahead without another word.
There was a heavy silence between them. After some minutes of walking, they finally saw a few working streetlights up ahead.
Miley was standing at the intersection.
“Stella!” she yelled as she waved.
