Victor and Jean were greeted at the entrance of the Yamamoto family home. Jean bowed down. Victor followed as he was very new to the culture. The security brought them to the main area of the house where they were seated and served hot tea as they waited for the host. A man approached them, escorted by several security guards.
Man: Yamamoto-ka e yōkoso. Watashi wa Kaitodesu. (bowing)
Jean stood up and bowed to the man. Victor followed.
Jean: Thank you for having us, Kaito. This is Victor Keel. Melanie Jayne's husband.
Victor bowed and held out his hand for a shake.
Victor: Hello.
Kaito: It is an honor to meet you, Victor. (shaking hands with Victor) I am Kaito Yamamoto. I am Melanie Jayne's uncle. Older brother to her mother.
Victor: It is an honor to meet you, sir.
Kaito sat down with Victor and Jean and told them about what had happened to Sebastian.
Jean: It is natural for Melanie Jayne to behave this way. She does not know Sebastian. Don't punish him too hard. Miss Anderson is very good at running off. I was told that Theodore is on his way here with her.
Kaito: That is what Sebastian said.
Victor: May I know why he took her? I was under the impression that it was a kidnapping. Please, correct me if I am wrong. I am trying to understand what is happening.
Kaito: Mr. Keel....... I think you have to get to know Sebastian in order to understand what happened. He is erm.....
Jean: He wasn't supposed to do what he did, Mr. Keel. Sebastian was supposed to talk to Lorenzo and ask his permission to bring Melanie Jayne over. This wasn't supposed to be a rescue mission.
Victor: I'm sorry, you lost me at Sebastian.......why did he not speak to Lorenzo?
Kaito and Jean spent some time talking to Victor about Sebastian and the family and their relationship with Theodore and Sebastian's family. Victor was upset with Sebastian's actions but he was even more worried about not seeing Melanie Jayne for so many hours.

Theodore and I got into a cab. It felt weird because we usually have our limos driving us everywhere. Theodore sat beside me in the cab.
Theo: Who was that man?
MJ: Who? Mike?
Theo: You said he is a friend.
MJ: He is. Was. Then, he died. Then, he's not dead.
Theo: Was he more than just a friend?
MJ: Excuse me?
Theo: It is a simple question, Melanie Jayne. Were you more than friends?
MJ: I am not gonna answer that. I am not having this conversation with you. (turns away from Theodore)
Theo: He was the one you lost. Correct?
I ignored Theodore's interrogations.
Theo: Why does he speak to you that way knowing you are married to Mr. Keel?
MJ: I am not gonna sit here and get a lecture from you!
Theo: Melanie Jayne, you must practise self control. This is very.......
