As Deemo ends playing another piano piece. He felt that somethings moving from behind him.

He tried to move and turn around carefully not to wake Alice up and saw the tree bud earlier changed and became bigger and in an instant, it became more beautiful in his eyes. Giving him an inspiration to play for more. But he decided to continue it later and carry Alice to a room where a bed lies there.

Deemo laid her down and take a look at her for more and then rubs her hair.

"Deemo, why you're so gentle to me?" Alice murmurs and snore softly like a baby, still sleeping.

Deemo went to the  dining area and starts to think of something Alice might wanna eat.

While on other side, the masked lady, whose finally dome reading the book she got earlier. Decided to get down and search for Deemo.

Going down to the stairs, she didn't found any sign of Deemo on the piano room but only a tree growing.

Checking out the room that she didn't know Alice is currently sleeping, she was a little bit surprised as she saw Alice laying down the bed, sleeping peacefully.

"What childish you are." The masked lady murmured. She went back outside and continue searching for Deemo elsewhere and she was surprized what she saw from the dining room where Deemo is right now.

Wearing an apron covering from his hips upto his knees with a paw print design on it and chef's hat and currently holding a chocolate cake in his hands.

"What's this all about?" The masked lady asked in confusion.

Deemo just smiled and put the cake on the table and set the chair for the masked lady.

"No I dont't eat. Got to go." The masked lady said which make Deemo lower his head meaning he felt sad and the masked lady left him alone.

Deemo just sit down and take a look on the cake and decided to just wait for Alice.

"Please, don't leave us." A voice from somewhere that Alice heard.

"Please. Don't." Another voice came up.

"Mom? Dad?" Alice guessed.

"We're here sweetie." The two voices said in unison.

"Mom! Dad! Where are you?!" Alice shouts.

"Don't..." And their voices fade.

"Don't leave me!!!" Alice said as her tears started to run down in her eyes.

"Mooooooommmm!!! Daaaaaaaaaadddd!!"

*Gasp*

"What happened?" She said as she finally woke up.

"Just a dream." She said again as she realized what really happened.

"Where am I?" Unconciously looked around where she is and started to get up from the bed.

"Ouch." Her head ache and she felt like she forgot something and decided to take a look on the piano room.

"Deemo?" She said as she started to look for the gentle creature.

She looked on her right and she found a open door and decided to get in. And luckily, she found what she's looking for who's now staring at her, starting to smile.

"Chocolate cake? That's my favorite!" Alice' exhausted face changed again to a cheerful one after seeing what's on the table.

Deemo nods his head, stand up on the chair and gave Alice a sign to sit down there.

He get a plate and a spoon and hand it over to Alice and watch her eating like a 5-year old child.

So messy. But cute.

After a about ten minutes.

"I'm full. It's so delicious!" Cheerful Alice said to Deemo and he responded a smile.

"How about you Deemo? Are you not going to eat your masterpiece?" Asked Alice but Deemo just shook hid head in a way of saying no and just smiled again.

"I could see that you couldn't talk. I wished that you we're." She said and pouts. So cute.

Deemo put out his hand in a way of saying "come" and Alice held his hand and follow him.

They went back to the library upstairs and read. While on the other side. Alices roam around the whole library and found a note pinned on a bookshelf.

"I can't read it but this seems to present a warm feeling for me." Alice said and starts to wonder.

She looked to her right and found the masked lady and a treasure box near her.

That made her curious on what might be the content of the box so she came near to it. But as she came near...

"What are you doing?" The masked lady asked in a cold tone, holding a book.

"Can I check out on the treasure box?" Alice asked.

"Go ahead, I don't care anyway." The masked lady replied, turning back her gaze to the book.

"Okay." Alice said and tried to open the box.

She found a rolled, old sheet of paper on it with a red ribbon that maintains the paper being rolled.

She untied the ribbon and it's a piano sheet.

"I think I could make this Deemo play." She said to herself and decided to stand up and see Deemo whose busy reading on the corner.

"Deemo, can you play this for me?" She asked.

Deemo take a look on the paper and examine the notes of the piano sheet and nods his head.

"Yay! Let's go!" Alice said cheerfully and walks down with Deemo holding each others hands.

As they sit down on the piano chair, Deemo placed the sheet on the book rack of the piano and starts playing the piece.

*Insert Music: Evolution Era - V.K.*

As Deemo is playing the piano. Alice remembers of her Mom and Dad. That makes her tears starts to run down into her cheeks.
