Sona's sudden emotional outburst was not the result of a single day or night, but rather the result of more than a decade of accumulation since she could remember.
As an abandoned orphan, she was adopted by monks from the Silana Monastery in the Ionian province of Garin when she was still a baby and was provided with food and clothing.
Although she was born with aphasia, due to her kind nature, she is very caring and considerate of others, especially children of the same age, who always come to her when they need comfort.
But this does not mean that Sona will not be bullied.
Because she couldn't speak and Ionia didn't have a unified sign language, communication was difficult. When Sona occasionally went out, she would still be ridiculed and maliciously imitated by children with bad personalities and domineering behavior.
The "little angel" who usually cares about others the most has become the target of bullying and ridicule by some people.
Even if the monk teachers noticed this and stopped it, it was a long time later.
Not only that, the teachers who visited the monastery and took the initiative to teach the children music theory discovered little Sona's only precious asset - Hua.
Although no one knew the origin of this strangely shaped guqin, it did not prevent a few people with ulterior motives from racking their brains to take it for themselves.
It was not until later that Sona learned how to play the instrument and was surprised to discover the connection between herself and it. Only then did she gain the ability to protect herself for the first time, scaring away those who dared to bully her.
However, these experiences undoubtedly left an indelible shadow deep in the heart of little Sona.
With the outbreak of the Noxian invasion of Ionia, in order to prevent these children from being affected, the monks of the monastery contacted a merchant ship from Demacia.
Before Noxus completely blockaded the west coast, this Demacia merchant ship carried all the orphans from the monastery in Galen Province, including Sona, on a long voyage lasting several months.
Leaving one's hometown and becoming homeless is also one of the main causes of psychological trauma to an immature child.
Fortunately, Sona met the kind-hearted Bouvier couple, who did not dislike her even when they discovered that she could use magic.
But no matter what, the Bouviers are Demacians after all, while Sona is Ionian, and they are different after all.
The language barrier alone took them quite a while to be able to communicate normally using their own sign language.
Now, Sona has met Li Lin, who is also an Ionian. Moreover, he is the first person of her age who can hear her inner voice and understand her. How can she not feel excited and happy?
For various reasons, Sona's suppressed emotions erupted. She threw herself into Li Lin's arms and cried silently. The tears that flowed out almost wet his chest.
Li Lin didn't know how to comfort her.
Sona's experience is very tragic, not only in the past, but also in the future of the original world line.
Without his intervention, Barrett would have died in the battle at the Gate of Sorrow not long ago, and the Bouvier family, having lost its pillar, would have fallen apart.
From the time she was born to the time she grew up, Sona spent almost twenty years in displacement.
For comprehensive considerations, he still felt that it would be better to let Sona vent her emotions.
Li Lin sighed, put his arm around her slender waist, and patted her back with the other hand, as a comfort to her.
"Cry, have a good cry, everything will be fine..."
After an unknown amount of time, Sona's body gradually subsided from twitching due to crying. She raised her red eyes and looked at Li Lin.
But then, recalling what she had just done, she wiped the tears from her cheeks, lowered her eyes, and a blush of embarrassment appeared on her face.
"Sorry, I got carried away."
"Everyone has their moments of emotional breakdown," Li Lin said, shaking his head. "Actually, letting out a good cry is one of the best ways to let go of your emotions."
In order to help Sona recover from her sadness, he deliberately reached out and wiped the tears from her face, and said in a teasing tone: "Look at you, you've cried like a kitten."
“No way…”
Sona gently hit Li Lin's chest, but when she felt the wetness on her fingers, she noticed that his chest was wet with her tears, and she couldn't help feeling a little sorry and panic.
"I'm so sorry, I took your clothes..."
"You mean this?"
Li Lin looked down and waved his hand indifferently. This was not a problem at all.
He simply snapped his fingers, and the nanomaterial transformed, filtering and evaporating the moisture in almost the blink of an eye.
When he looked again, there was no trace of moisture on his dress.
Sona's eyes widened in surprise, "How amazing! Is this the... uh, nanotechnology?"
“Yes, the power of science.”
Li Lin just chuckled, but then he noticed Sona's tear-stained face and couldn't help but gasp.
"Hiss—you can't let Kashina see you like this, or she'll kill me."
Sona was stunned for a moment, then she instantly understood what Li Lin was referring to. She touched her face and became panicked.
"I'm so sorry! This is my fault..." She said anxiously, "I, I will explain to Kashina, and Mom and Dad!"
"No, I have a better idea."
Li Lin controlled a part of his clothes to separate, and the rest of the nanomaterials quickly filled in and returned to their original state.
The separated part quickly transformed into the appearance of a drone and entered the stealth state of "optical camouflage".
