It hadn't crossed her mind that a hug would be awkward to him - not even from the hint he gave about his family and the mask. He hadn't protested on contact before and it was simply something she did, would do to anyone. She only realized that maybe it wasn't the best of ideas when he left, but she couldn't bring herself to care. Giving him one last wave, she shut the door and locked the locks more out of habit than anything else.
Even with everything that happened, Lotte suddenly felt relieved and a startled laugh escaped her. She wasn't as frightened as she'd been before and there was a definite hope - a possibility - that things would work out alright. Hugging herself, she went to her bedroom. The only thing left to do was make sure everyone else was alright.
