Back to the present...
Ceres finally arrived at Arayat Village and found how bustling the place was despite the late evening. It didn't look like the village that she had imagined. For a place to be this far from the city, it was really surprising that there was a hospital, a school, a café, and other establishments which you would mostly see downtown.
Nevertheless, Ceres went on since most people didn't really pay attention to her presence. Relying upon the direction and address that Tristan sent her after a thorough investigation, Ceres reached the place that she was looking for.
It was quite some distance from the heart of the village and not many houses could be found surrounding it. If the woman decides to scream for help, it would take time for her neighbors to come and rescue her – not that she would give her time to scream though.
