I saw that as well and was wondering what she was carrying! I saw another suggestion that maybe it's an ukulele...?
Or knowing Aliona and her desire to be weird/unique -- maybe it's a viola??It would be cool if Aliona is learning to play an instrument...but does she really have time for that?!
Between training, studying (she had a big exam today -- that's why she left early from yesterday's show), horse-riding, and planning TikToks, does she really have time for another hobby??

Separately, following up on my post earlier with Aliona using Daniil as a wall to lean against when she put her skate guards on...
It does seem like they're back to their old jokey/teasing relationship...?
When Aliona left Team T., Daniil seemed pretty hurt, and when the news about her wanting to return first appeared, he seemed the most cautious/resistant, so I'm pleasantly surprised to see that they seem to have repaired their relationship.
Here's for hoping that Daniil actually gives her great programs for the upcoming season. (Or even better -- if Eteri choreographs them!)
