Zakura Ichigo, the pink-haired girl from what I remembered was the one who visited her and left and I believe she is not what she portrays herself." continued Zareena.

Betrayed by herself and on her understanding of what she had taken belief that the girl may somewhere be just another delicately magnificent harmless soul like her, Umber used to see herself in her and the beauty of the pink-haired girl only gathered more grace for her.

"Zakura Ichigo," uttered Umber with so desperate accent that the gravity of her remorse expression was enough for others to bat an eye around her.

"That cheap stake of a bitch again," Umber was particularly more distracted from surprise to rather hold her feelings apart.

Tyler on the other hand keep shifting the gaze around in the room, even with her still humming the slowest, the gaze still gathered on her.

"It was unexpected for Umber,
Of course, she spoke, helped her reach home, and even been to her home a few times and I believe it was just a friendship they shared." spoke Tyler trying harder to clarify the situation and to bring her into the good eye again.

"Seriously Umber,
I am hearing that Annie was trying to catch up with us and I still couldn't believe how, her ridiculous age, her walking issues, and the distance between the cottage and the mansion.

I could rather crop out the possibility of her doing work herself but I would always have this striking my mind, how were things happening, how could these many situations simultaneously happen with us?

It was a matter of nothingness and a few days together that you both were left to investigate, you could have guided each other, been more alert, and perform work better.

Instead, I am reminded of the situation of another victim.

Now the problem we have here is another person has suffered the same fate as the others, now it's Zareena, your best friend, dorm mate, and squad. Umber how many more victims would you want to harvest along with your new friend?

Seriously Umber, how can you be so arrogant and say me truly everything that you have been doing under the nose of everyone." spoke Leon.

"Sir, I shouldn't have kept this away from you but my intentions were not any bad, I only wanted to help a girl who seemed to be estranged on a completely remote bus bay towards the countryside and then the friendship happened among us while I routinely dropped her home and I didn't expect her to be digging against us behind my back.

Zakura Ichigo has Japanese roots and her home is accustomed to Asian culture. Helping her reach home and even after getting invited to her place twice, I would have never guessed her backstabbing role.

The first time I remember when she boarded a very sketchy bus all alone, I was alarmed about her safety, and sadly I got involved hereafter."

Spoke Umber only narrowing up to herself while leaving Tyler out of this.

"Umber meet me specifically, I will have to take more questioning from you, this time no matter how remember once a rule is broken it remains broken forever. You betrayed my trust and the system you are functioning under. When you choose to perform on your will you have to have the gut to accept accordingly." spoke Leon while glaring with disappointment at Umber, as he shifted his eyes to equally disappointed Tyler who have his gaze lowered to the ground.

"Disclose your involvement. One already did and another remained, I hardly believe your silence. I am sure you are equally involved in this." continued Leon.

"I am sorry sir, it was my fault all along, I acted on myself foolishly while keeping my vision short sight. I am sorry sir, but Tyler has nothing to do here, I had been to myself with this girl the whole time." continued Umber while trying to present a bold accent as she strongly defended Tyler to at least keep him out of such mess.

"I keep my eyes off you for a day or so and you mess up. Tyler what were you doing all these days, I can't believe these ridiculous statements," snapped Leon expressing more disappointment in them.

"Maybe she got fooled easily and since it's her first case, maybe we should at least be soft on words for now," spoke Olivia, knowing how hard it was for Umber to cope with everything for the moment when it all happens so swiftly.

On the other hand, Wynn was getting all impatient over the continuous gossiping through the speaker of his dialed phone. Leon and Umber were constantly engaged in the conversation causing an obstacle against racing time, which only made his anxiety worse. The gravity of the situation that they were ignorantly babbling throughout, Wynn became more stressed.

Zareena is here up to speak despite her situation.

Wynn spoke politely over the conversation against them.

"Sir Harris, now it's not the right time to discuss the matter rather than this. Let Zareena speak for herself first.

Zareena, I heard you were talking about the rituals. I am quite eager, would you rather speak more about it?" questioned Wynn.

"During my stay for a few days at the mansion with her, there were many instances that caught up my eye but this specific regular ritual of her that she routinely performed caught my gaze for sure.

Luckily for me, I wake up early at 5 to perform my daily Fajr prayer, and after I am done praying I usually keep an eye on her morning activities and that's how I got a hold on the unusual ritual she performs regularly.

This ritual she performs is more satanic than any regular religious ritual, and I can say this surely because I have sneaked up on her praying it multiple times and I have also heard the mantras she chants while she performs.

These rituals she performs are for her deceased grandson Damian Bardens.
This is what I could acknowledge with my stay over at her house. Her late grandson with whom her heart is attached. She wants him back, she wants him back soo madly that she is willingly adjusted to even bring his soul back even if she is seeing him this wrong way, through witchcraft.

Now that his soul is with her, she maintains his presence and it daily horrified me even more, the soul of the toddler floating and walking through walls, that image alone gives me chills, his voice when he speaks and when he looks for his mother in me.

These memories from this specific house during my short experience haunt me endlessly.

And for the investigation team out there the only hint my experience would fetch you out is you would get your fruits of investigation when you reach that room.

The time when I used to sneak up on her ritual hall, I realized and memorized this specific unique location in her mansion, that unique room that is like all other rooms from the outside but from the inside the story is a whole another, I would say no other room is like that on the inside.

This particular room on the inside is far more compressed and lowered to its height when compared to all the other rooms in the whole property." Explained Zareena.
