Earlier...
Dylan was lurking around Hiro's desk. He then sees a photo in the bottom drawer. He picks it up and flips it over. It was a picture of Hiro and his son, Jiro. A maid comes back after the phone rings. "Lady Akane."
Akane looks up. The maid said, "Sir Jimbo wants me to pass a message to you." Akane nods. The maid continues, "The dog is now in the pound."
"Thank you."
The maid was curious and asks, "Do you used to own a dog, Lady Akane?"
"...Yes."
"What did the dog do?"
"Jimbo said the dog has been trying to harm certain person."
"Oh, my."
The maid misunderstands Akane's comment, she thought the dog was in the pound because the dog bit someone. Akane puts her spoon down on her plate. The maid asks, "You're finished? You rarely take a bite."
Akane said, "I'm not that hungry."
"Are you sick or –"
"I'm fine. Just tired. I'm going to take a nap."
The maid nods as Akane heads back to the bedroom.
...
She lays on the bed and closes her eyes.
She was standing in the darkness. She looks around and sees nothing but pitch black. "Hello? Anyone there?" No respond. A few minutes later, she sees the light right ahead of her. She run towards the light. As soon as she gets out of the darkness, she sees familiar place. (This is...) In front of her was a happy family where there was a dad, a mom, two daughters, and two brothers. Smiling and laughing, celebrating christmas. She looks confused. (Isn't that...) The scenery then hopped into another scenery.
There was a little boy hiding and peeking at someone. She looks up ahead and it was one of the little girl she once saw. The girl was picking some flowers as the boy secretly watches her from afar. The boy said to his caretaker, "Ying'Er is really beautiful, don't you think Ji?" She gasped and looks at the little girl again. (Ying'Er? That's--)
Ji lowered his head and said, "Yes, Young Master. She will be the perfect bride for you." The little boy smiled from ear to ear. "Hey!" She tries to question the little boy; however, the scenery jumped to another scene.
She stands in the crowd. She squeezes herself in to see what was going on. As soon as she gets a little bit closer, her eyes widen. Right in front of her was the little girl and her family. They were standing on the top of the platform as their hands were tied behind their back. (Wha--? What is going on?)
"Wait!" She tries to go up to save them; however, it was too late.
...
She immediately opens her eyes and sits up, breathing heavily. Her forehead was covering in sweat as her hands tremble in fear. She looks around the room and realizes where she is. She lets out a sigh and gets out of bed. She heads to the shower to cool off her mind.
After a few minutes, she gets out of the shower and puts some decent clothes on. She walks out of the bathroom as she rubs a towel on her hair, walks towards the bed; however, she feels someone was behind her. She turns around and someone in a black wear with a mask sprays something on her face. She loses her consciousness and falls down on the floor. That person then carries her out of the room without being seen.
Kiri, a nightman, who was on duty, walking by and notices a strange man carrying Lady Akane out of the mansion. He then chases right after him. "HEY! STOP!" The man with the mask ignores Kiri's command and continues to flee with Akane. Soon enough Kiri was surrounded by more of them. (Kiri: Damn!) Kiri quickly ignites to send a signal to others.
Once he ignites, he got hit back of his head. He, too was captured along with Akane.
