A few days passed, and the month drew to a close. Roman was on his way to pick up his ladies, having offered to collect them despite Saanvi and Sophia having their own cars. His motivation was to ensure Saanvi's safety, as she was still unaware of the system and the impending changes to the world.
After dropping off Bianca, he headed to Sophia's secluded residence, parking his car outside. He approached the house, knocking on the door, but received no response. Assuming she might be busy or in a different part of the house, Roman let himself in, calling out "Sophia" as he entered.
The silence was deafening, with no response to his call. Roman searched the downstairs area, but Sophia was nowhere to be found. He made his way upstairs, checking each room, but she was still nowhere to be seen. His curiosity piqued, Roman decided to investigate further.
