"Annaliese..." Mabel looked at her daughter and noticed she was not home. "Where are we?" She asked in a somewhat weakened tone.
Even though she was almost fully recovered from her healing injuries, she was quite weakened after days without eating and a long time in a coma.
Annaliese felt her eyes watery and knelt beside her mother's bed. "Mother... Mother, we are in the Ritter family home. We had abandoned our property because of the spectres in that place."
"Spectres?" She opened her eyes more meaningfully. "And Aiken?"
"Fath... Father died. We extinguished the spectre inside him, but it was too late." She said with heaviness in her heart, barely able to speak properly due to mucus forming in her airways.
Hearing the confirmation of what she already knew, Mabel remembered the fight of days ago, when she had felt that creature had evolved after consuming all of Aiken's soul.
She closed her eyes, and tears dripped from them.
