Faceless Crowd

Who are you?

Ten years ago Nyal awoke in a hospital bed. Plagued with childhood meningitis, he unfortunately lost consciousness & memories from his earlier days.
His father was there, his mother seemingly no longer around. Which was fine because he never remembered her.

Within a year Nyal got to learn how to be in school again, attempt to make friends and act like the other students. He didn't comprehend the other children anymore, he was socially delayed and presented awkward.

This behaviour carried with him as he was forced to navigate from school to school every year or two. His father, an acting professor was gifted in the art of culture and history. This proved as a necessity for teachings with younger pupils.

Nyal and his father lived in the United States, Spain and all across the country of Connor's Island. They lived in the Savage Garden Keys, D'Lawerence, Swarcliffe and now Keoghan Knots.

He was forced to make friends and break friendships as his father controlled the environment his whole life, well up until now.

A week has passed since Marigold Everly disappeared at the Van Easton Gallery. Many of the citizens partook in assisting in her search. There were no leads, but her socials explode with false leads of the Everly Fortune.

A growing memorial is staged at AAA, much to the friend groups dismay. Marigolds picture had been placed next to it, as people feared she was the next victim of this blast from the past killer!

Mr. Porter gets a knock on his door and to his surprise it's Augusta. He invites her in and she lowers her guard and begins to cry. Genuine tears roll down her face, as she attempts to explain the unexplainable feelings that just keep rising within her.

Augusta is living with PTSD and she didn't realize it, nor do her parents notice. In fact all of her friend group is experiencing the similar symptoms, but each presenting differently.

She can't sleep, due to the nightmares of the bombing. She is worried constantly that someone else or now even Marigold has been murdered. First Rogge, than the mysterious DEAN.
Meeting Neil again has thrown her into a tailspin and she doesn't know how to cope!

Augusta asks for Kevin's help!

The friends all meet after school on that Thursday, as Nyal states that there must be more answers in his father's study.
He's only allowed certain people in the home, and knows who has access and who does not. On this evening each of them tour the entire estate, each seeking different possible places for secret storage.

They are catered to by Ms. Bus as she is the approved cook. They are watched over by Sir. Mire as he has been Nyal's security for as far back as he can remember. Interpol Guard Alfie Paul, who had been assigned to the home for purposes at the time, unknown. Genvia June is the home keeper, laundry and companion.

Caulfield finds a newspaper headline, showing a Father Son event. This event states there were no two people more alike, and how Spain has honored them for their service! This evokes fear within him, that Nyal may not be whom he appears to be!
