A few days after the Celebration, everything became more lively on the mansion. Ril and Lilian slowly became good friends while Jiro and Claire still have some small silly fights but they've become very interactive with each other and Chijin who was watching them, enjoyed their interactions every time, like a grandpa who enjoys his grandchildren having fun. Gabriel seems to be away for a while, he's having a mission together with Clarisse, they're partners in crimes in every mission they've taken. Beautiful Views and scenes from the mansion enlightened Chijin, then suddenly, a voice was calling him, it made him very troubled while hearing it so he took permission from Zeal to take a a leave because he is going to investigate something on the country of Thalotian, a deserted land swarming with demons and corrupted animals and humans. At first, Zeal was hesitant about it because he knows how dangerous that place is but then he saw that Chijin was really determined to go to that place so he gave him permission. He left without saying anything to everyone and vanished like a wind.
The news came to them a few days late, and they were shocked and worried about his journey, Ril was the one that got worried the most about Chijin but he believes he will be able to come back unscathed.
A few days later, Gabriel and Clarisse came back from their mission, all of them celebrated their arrival, it was a fun night for all of them until the night arrived and all of them went to sleep.
Ril, who was already sleeping on his bed, suddenly woke up because he had to go to the bathroom.
While he was going out of the bathroom, he heard a slash and a small voice outside of the mansion, it sounded like someone was murdered,
He went out of the mansion and saw Claire outside covered in blood while a dead body was in front of her, he was shocked by what he saw, he wanted to go near her and ask what happened but then, Claire saw him and looked at him while having a horrifying face and said "Ah...You caught me"
Ril was confused and he did not want to believe what he saw "What are you doing... Claire?"
Her eyes widened by his question and she proceeded to laugh like a maniac "What am I doing?... Simple, killing people like I always do. To be honest, I'd never thought both you and Jiro would easily trust me"
"What do you mean?" Ril asked in confusion while feeling betrayed "You still don't understand? I deceived all of you, I'm spying every little move of the lotus organization and I even stole all the shards they collected" She said while showing all the 3 shards on her hands while smiling like a psycho.
Then, an alarm started ringing on the whole mansion, it is an alarm that an important object was missing and it alarmed everyone, while Claire and Ril was still outside, Claire was getting ready to escape and said one last thing to him "This is why you should never trust anyone too easily, I'll be off now before they caught me. So long, old friend" then, she vanished like a wind, leaving Ril speechless because of what he saw, he thought he was just dreaming until Jiro and Lilian also came outside of the mansion and went near to him, Lilian looked worried seeing him and asked "Ril...what happened?" Ril, still was shocked and his eyes are wide open "so...it wasn't a dream..." he mumbled "what?" Jiro asked, Ril then proceeded to put his hands on his hair and crumbled it while feeling devastated and shouted "IT'S JUST A DREAM...IT'S JUST A DREAM!!! PLEASE LET ME WAKE UP!!!"
