Rosemary came to see me this morning, saying she had an idea in mind for Anya. We're on our way to ask Vincent if that would be possible.

Rosemary looks excited. That makes me smile. Anya is currently playing with the other children. Cassian, Miss Lora and Miss Odelia are keeping an eye on her to make sure the incident from last time doesn't happen again.

We found Vincent in the boss's office. He raises his gaze once we close the door.

« Ray, Lady Rose. What can I do for you? »

« We had a question, Vincent. »

« Ask away. I might be able to help. »

Rose looked at me for a moment before looking back at Vincent.

« Okay, so. You know what happened to Anya, right? »

« Yes, I do. You two told me and Anya told me as well. But I thought her name was Demonica? »

Rose and I took a seat on one of the couches and Vincent sat on the other one in front of us.

« Oh! Yes, it was. But we... found out what her real name was and it's Anya. She'd like to be called Anya by the way. »

« Demonica was just the name the scientist at the time gave her. »

« I see... and what was it you wanted to ask me? »

Rosemary suddenly seemed nervous. I grabbed her hand and squeezed it a little to give her reassurance. We used to do that back at Grace Field.

« We wanted to know if it was possible for Anya to become human again. »

Silence settled in the room for a moment. Vincent was thinking and I could feel Rose's nervosity grow by the second.

« I might have an idea to make her human again. It'll take some time though. I'll have to talk with the boss too to know how he thinks we could help. »

I looked at Rose and saw the way her smile grew big. That made me smile.

« Thank you, Vincent. »

Vincent smiled back.

« Of course. »

Rose and I left the office. Rose was just happy by the conversation we just had. We both agreed to not tell Anya about it just yet. We didn't want to give her false hope after all.

I keep thinking that I should go back to the bunker. I still haven't given them any news that I'm still alive.

I told Rose that I was going to leave for a while, just to tell the others I'm still alive and well. She agreed, saying that she'll stay at the hideout. Oh, and of course, she did scold me for not giving the others news of how I'm doing for so long.

She helped me pack my stuff and after I told everyone goodbye, I left. Anya didn't want to let me go, but Rosemary managed to get her to let go.

I promised her I'll be back before she realizes that I'm gone.
