Dinner at the Goodwill family mansion was always sober and quiet. Emily had always felt suffocated when she came here.
But she had never let it overwhelm her because Rika had been there for her to focus on.
With Rika gone, Emily had no desire to make this dinner as comfortable as possible. All she wanted to do was eat and get out of here.
But everyone else had a different opinion about her wants, and they kept bringing out more and more food.
Emily could not possibly eat all this, but she could tell that she was only being treated like this because these people wanted to hold her back, a feeling of frustration and helplessness creeping over her.
They wanted something from her, and they wanted it badly.
"So, Emily, how is your investigation going? Did you find any traces of Rika? Any idea when you will be able to bring her back?"
