never had a wicked mind

N.N.

It was already 16 P.M. when Vanysh finished putting everything she had and knew in the board.

In the middle of it there was Hanna's name, which was interlinked with "MWAF", "Kidnapper" (connected to MWAF), "The group"(connected to "Richy, Jessy, Cleo, Thomas, Dan and Lilly) , "Jake" (connected with 3 papers between his name and Hanna), "Bracelet" (connected to Thomas and kidnapper) and "Raven Sign" (connected to Richy and MWAF).

From now on, as things happen, roles will intertwine and appear.

The three papers that are linking "Jake" with "Hanna" are: "Lover?", "Friend?" and "Brother?". These were the relations Vanysh thought Jake could have with Hanna.

After having some rest, a message from Jessy arrived.

"I was going home since I was leaving the hospital again, but I decided to come back to the Junk Yard. Luckly Dan's conditions are pretty stable, so I figured it was better to stay with the person that really needed me..."

—That's nice of you, Jessy
—How is Richy doing?

—Well
—I think upset, for being marked

—That is reasonable

—But now pay attention:
—When I got there, he was in the middle of scrubbing the sign of the raven off his gate

—Really?

—I think this really bothers him, but he never reveals his feelings to me
—To be honest he never reveals it to any of us. He is always that guy who's smilling no matter what and tells us that everything will be fine

—I know people like that
—Sometimes they just don't want to worry the ones they love.

—Makes sense

Talking about Richy, he sent a message in the group where Jessy, Him and Vanysh take part.

—Oh, I give up😫
—Were you guys texting with each other? 🤔

Vanysh:
—Noo

Richy:
—Humm either way... It's impossible to get this "masterpiece" off and I can't cover it right now, so I guess it will have to stay the way it is 😒

Vanysh:
—Masterpiece haha

Richy:
—After all, we don't want the artist's efforts to go unnoticed 😅

Vanysh:
—It would really be a shame

Jessy:
—It is not a laughing matter😠
—Richy, you were marked!
—I am so afraid...

Vanysh:
—That's exactly what the kidnapper wants. That's what people like him do.

Richy:
—Yup
—I guarantee you there aren't any monsters lurking around, looking to take anybody to the forest 🤭
