"Y-yeah... Y-you see t-that I..." Wait! Hold on, where's Ardval? I-I haven't seen him around... That dog is always disappearing out of sight, damn it! I'm sorry Elize but we have to find Ardval then we'll continue our chat later. Just as I expected, Ardval always do this whenever we go for a long walk, perhaps something caught his attention or something, there's nothing to worry about, Elize and I will find him in no time.
It's been a while we've been walking for ages and it seems like we can't find Ardval, I'm starting to get more worried as we walk around calling Ardval's name, Elize! Have you found him yet? "There's no signs of him around here, we must've left him somewhere that we know." I remember back then that he was always looking to a very tall hedge near to the company where I was first working before, this is going to be a long walk back again but as long as we find Ardval, every step is worth it. I've last saw him looking at that same hedge but I never bothered to call him since he would always catch up to us whenever we walk far from him, I wonder what happened.
Elize and I have been looking around for an hour but we don't see Ardval anywhere, I'm starting to overthink that something might've happened to him, perhaps got kidnapped or got hit but a car, I don't know what to do if I saw him like that! P-Please I want to stop with these thoughts! I-I don't want to go through the same thing as I did before! "Darcey? Are you alright? Come here" Elize called me so I came to her and she hugged me tight, s-she knew how I felt? "It's going to be alright Darcey, I know you're thinking the possible things that could've happened to Ardval but please don't think about the negative ones, it won't lead us to anything if you keep being like that" I just nodded while she smiled at me, I'm trying to calm myself down by having deep breaths and getting everything in my head under control.
After that, we started looking for Ardval again and we're almost at the hedge that I was talking about, I haven't seen what's behind those hedges to be honest, I'm starting to be more cutrious as I think about it more and more. Elize? Do you have any idea what's behind those hedges? "Oh? I don't know either, you just told me about that earlier, maybe perhaps a big mansion maybe?" that's actually a good guess but there's only one way to find out what's truly behind those very tall hedges...
