Friends POV:

We have been deeply worried for Axer... He has been missing for a day... We called for his parents but...

They said they didn't have a son...

Is this a joke?.. Do we have to dig for answers?

Tuesday, September 3. 8:21 PM.

We are looking for answers. We've been putting up missing posters. And none of the people here have called us. Do they have not remembered?..

Of course they won't. They don't know him.

We've also tried to report this to the police. They helped us investigate. And so far we've only found one clue...

We've found a button that seems to have Axer's fingerprint. Unfortunately. That was the only clue we've found.

But he seems to have disappeared in this strange neighbourhood. Strange case, strange streets. That's explainable.

It's near midnight. And we haven't found him yet.

"We need to sleep Abbey. It's near midnight... We can do this tomorrow!"
Jakob trying to convince Abbey.

"We can't do that unless we find him! It's like he just disappeared without a trace! He promised not to leave US!" Abbey replied, she's not giving up.

"Abbey, we know but... Don't you think we're pushing ourselves too hard..? It's the only clue we have found! The button?"
Daniel had also tried to convince Abbey.

"No we're not pushing ourselves too hard or going TOO far! I just want him back! Don't you GET IT?!"

"Look, we get it Abbey but its time that we stop. Almost everyone here doesn't know about him." Daniel sighed.

"You don't want getting involved into this do you?.. Do you want everyone to forget you?.."

"... I'll try everything just to get him back... But... I don't want that..."

"Exactly. We still need sleep y'know?.."

Abbey sighed

"Yeah... We still need it..."

Jakob sighed sarcastically.

"If you guys keep talking, I'm just a reminder that we have to go home right now."

"Oh uhh... Right!.. I'm tired anyways..."

"Good. I wanna go home."

And so, we stopped a bit from searching for him. Or did I stop?..

I continue to search for clues. Whenever I find one, that is something similar to the case. I just put it in a chest.

"Where are you now?..
Are you under the sea?..
Or in another dream?..
Why did you fade away?..
Are you... Faded?.."

I look outside my window just to look up at the stars...

"I know it's your plan my Lord. But give me a sign on when he will come back...

I want him back here..."
