She says it all started 3 months ago:

''Zen and Orche meet on a hillside next to a tree where Orche is escited to show their masks to each other to see who is better. He reveals his, calling it the King Crab the Gentleman of the Sea, and Zen is obviously impressed and lost in his happiness. She snaps out of it and reveals hers hangin in a tree but it's beauty is so captivating it sends Orche's mood down. He expresses how he will never be as talented as her and excuses himself but Zen goes after him and smashes the King Crab by stepping on it by accident. ''
