After meeting with Luisfer, I headed back to meet up with Eve, my father, and Nael. The map in my hand would be what will lead us to my mother, at long last. The guards outside were, of course, surprised to see me, but I didn't feel like greeting them. Time was limited, and we couldn't afford to wait any longer.
I didn't take any detours as I made my way back to the half-burnt-down love hotel building, where I had told Eve to meet with me at once I was done my business.
A keen instinct in the back of my head told me I was being spyed on, but… I couldn't afford to worry about that now, with the goal so clear ahead of me, right in front yet so far.

"Kai Kai! Where have you been?" My father immediately asked, stepping closer.
