When Ignatius Leclair returned, the livestream was interrupted. Delphine didn't bother dealing with the broadcast anymore; she had originally intended to end the stream once the pomegranate-picking was over. She was entirely unaware of the storm brewing in the livestream chat after Kyla Zamora blacked out the camera.

The old butler stood at the entrance of the dining room, smiling warmly as he said, "Today's menu was changed last minute: pomegranate chicken, sweet-and-sour pomegranate pork, pomegranate sago pudding, and the leftover pomegranates I've taken to ferment into wine. Perhaps in two months, you'll be able to taste the pomegranate wine. The two pomegranate trees the matriarch planted years ago have grown so well—it's truly a symbol of good fortune."
