She was so familiar to him, as though she was a dream he had soon forgot and to her he was nothing at all but the person who made her glow and she wonders if she'll finally be able to say it- Unaware that it was fate tying them both together now; De...

AKEMI
The heiress walks along the hallway with Oliver's leash in hand, the sun slowly setting already. The Golden retriever sniffs the hallway, at times sneezing and huffing from the accumulated dust. This lasted for a few more minutes, half an hour at most until the dog stops in front of a door.
"What's this— " Akemi reaches her hand towards the door, but the hand on her shoulder was faster. "Ah!"
The heiress let out a yelp, turning to pout her lips at an unconcerned Naru. A frown once again in his lips, "Mouh~! You surprised me back there..." Akemi laughs, her voice shaky.
Seeing how troubled she seemed, Naru straightened. His hand lowering back to his side. "Is something wrong? You look... Do you sense anything?"
Akemi ignored his sudden change of words, lifting him an assuring smile. "I'm fine, it doesn't concern the case." she reassures.
In fact, it concerns the two shadowy figures. The more they stayed in her presence, the more Akemi's sight seemed to diminish. It was concerning— Akemi was wondering if her sight has anything to do with the two paranormal activities.
Akemi points towards the door in front of them, Oliver already sitting in his place. "I do feel a presence here..."
Naru was silent, glancing at Akemi's pointed finger and moving his gaze to the door, his eye catching something; the metal lock. "It's locked."
"Eh?" Akemi couldn't tell that. "Can we not open it?"
Naru scoffs, stepping forward the door. "I wouldn't have said its locked if we can open it that easily,"
Akemi giggles, not one bit perturbed. "Ara~ someone sure is grumpy today..."
Naru send the heiress a cold darkening glare, clicking his tongue. "Let's go back now, Lin said he's close, Mai is already waiting for him at the caretaker's house."
"What do you mean? We're not going to check this room out?" Akemi lightly frowns, confused— not to Naru but to herself. Something inside her just pushes her to open the door. 'She wants to go inside now... but why?'
Naru sighs while he stepped away to leave. "Akemi, it's locked. We can just ask the caretaker to open it for us later—"
