It's been two weeks since I stole the souls of Daphne and the others. Everything is going as planned, much better than last time. I remembered what was my biggest mistake that time: bringing all the members of Mystery into the Order at the same time. What was I thinking?

Fred and Daphne's faces are crossed out with a big red X. There is still one piece on the board: Vilma. She, unlike the others, is a potential threat. She's intuitive, too smart... and I like that.

My eyes linger on the computer screen, looking at ads and posts. Then, I notice something interesting.

—But I don't think I'm going to need them.
