"This is the room that you'll be staying in." Isabella says to Krone.

"Understood, thank you." Krone replies.

"She's settling in a bad spot." Ray says as the quadruple stood on the stairs.

"The center of the three children's rooms." Emma recalls.

"To make it easier to watch us..." Norman adds.

"We're basically sheep and she's the shepherd's dog." Karma compared.

Krone and Isabella turned around and looked down at the children. As a response, Emma and Norman smile and giggled, and Karma weak smiled and waved. Ray just stood there by the wall.

The four decided to have a meeting at the library. Emma and Ray were occupied with the children for a moment while Karma and Norman were waiting for them.

"I hope those two get done soon." Karma says. "This is something we need to discuss about along with the tracking devices."

"Hey, Karma."

"Hm?"

"You're not all that scared, are you?"

Karma pauses for a moment. "To be honest, I'm just a little bit scared. I wasn't there when you guys first found out about the demons. But for you guys, I'm going to be brave."

Silence fell for a moment.

"Are you scared?" Karma asks while looking down.

"Of course." Norman admits. "We're dealing with demons. We know about the dangerous truth, and it won't be easy to deal with. We've been living in a lie."

Karma is silent for a moment. "I knew I shouldn't have asked that. It's sad that all the other kids don't know it yet." Karma goes and puts her hand on Norman's shoulder. "But Norman, with everything that is going on, we'll make it out. We'll escape. We have to."

Karma lets go and sits on a chair.

"Thanks for agreeing to helping us." Norman tells her.

"Anything for a friend." Karma smiles.

"On Conny's last day, everyone said what they wanted to do when they get out of the house." Norman says, then asked," If you were actually able to,... what were you wanting to do?"

Karma thinks for a moment. She puts her head down on the table.

"I just wanted to be adopted, and live with a family that won't treat me bad or abandon me. But that's not going to happen."

Karma feels a hand on her shoulder. She sits up and sees Norman right next to her. He opens his arms and hugs Karma.

"You will have us as your family." Norman tells her. "We will escape. Together."

"Yeah." Karma says, hugging him back.

He lets go, and so does she.

Emma and Ray both show at the library. The discussion began.

The group went on talking about Sister Krone and Carol's arrival. On one hand, Ray tells them that it's a good thing they showed because they are two sources of information. Their conclusion– there must be a base that houses adults and babies. When the babies turn one, they are sent to the farm to replenish the merchandise.

"We need to figure out how to escape with everyone." Ray says, "And locate the tracking devices."

"I searched all over my body, but didn't find any traces of something implanted." Emma tells them as she feels all around her torso.
