One particular day, a strangely clothed man and what seemed to be his wife entered the orphanage. Nanako studied them before walking up to them. "Hello sir and miss. What can I do for you?" She asked nicely. The man scoffed. "Stupid woman. You stole my children and I know it. Give them back before you regret it." He growled. Nanako was weirded out by his threats. "I don't know what you're talking about, sir. We only have children here who we've found alone or were given into our care." She explained trying to be as nice as possible, even bowing a little.

"My children were not alone. They had a loving home and disappeared. I want them back. I've killed before, young lady and I am not afraid of doing it again." He sneered still very irritated. The woman pushed herself between the two. "Excuse us, Fräulein. I'm Elfriede Miller and this is my husband Jochen Miller. We're here to pick up our children since we believe they might have ended up here somewhere. Could you help us with that miss?" Elfriede would ask nicely, her body language very calm and charming. Nanako recognized those names. When Jude, Robin and Nele came here Gudrun gave them those names to not let those people find the three of them. She knew it was about saving those children from dangerous people and even if it would cost her the job she loved most, she would do anything to protect them.

"I'm really sorry but all the children here have been given up to adoption by their parents in person! We do not have any found children at the moment." Nanako informed them. Suddenly the man, Jochen, seemed to be more than just a little angry. You could say his eyes made him look outraged. "LOOK BITCH, I TRACKED THEM DOWN WITH MICROCHIPS I IMPLANTED AND I KNOW THEY'RE HERE. DON'T TRY TO HIDE THEM FROM ME." He yelled while also taking out a knife. Nanako got really scared and backed away. "Sir please... Please let's clear things up without violence..." She muttered, her voice shaky. Elfriede tried to hold him away from Nanako so he wouldn't do something drastic like his attitude had just suggested.

All of the sudden, Jude just happened to randomly wheel across the hall with his wheelchair at the wrong time so that Jochen saw him. "THERE, THAT'S OUR SON. I KNEW THEY WERE HERE." He blurted out gracefully following Jude. His behavior and his graceful movements didn't fit together. When Jude saw him he raised his hands trying to shield himself. He knew he wouldn't be fast enough to get away from his father. Not with the wheelchair and his body's condition. Jochen grabbed his wrist hard and yanked him out of the chair. Jude winced and tried getting up, which was not easy due to his immobile legs and the fact that Jochen was already dragging him along his way to Elfriede. She sighed. "Jude, why did you ran away? I've been worried sick..." She mumbled stroking his hair. "You? Worried sick? I doubt that. When I was at home you didn't even give me any food for weeks. If Gudrun hadn't been there, I would've starved, so don't come with shitty arguments like that." Jude snorted. Elfriede acted hurt and turned to Jochen.

"I must be a bad mother that my own child tells those lies... Jochen aren't you disappointed in him?" She asked with a fake teary voice. "Very disappointed. At this point your only use would be as a sacrifice for the angel. Fine, stay here. Fine, see this bitch and Robin as your mothers! If it makes your stupid heart happy, then just get out of my sight. I don't want to be your father no longer." Jochen exclaimed yanking the small boy to the floor. Nanako was quick to help him up and put him back in his wheelchair. "But I wanna make one thing clear. Nele's coming, if you like it or not. Her life's more worth than yours." He added coldly.

Nanako couldn't do anything to help anymore. She was obliged to follow the law after all. She was glad at least Jude and Robin were save, but she couldn't hide Nele away from them anymore. Nanako got her and explained her the situation. Nele stared at her and her parents before accepting the sad reality. "Fine... I'll come back home... But only if Gudrun can stay where she is as well. Otherwise I won't come!" Nele stated determined and Jochen quickly nodded. "Fine, as long as I got one heir. Come with me now child, it's time you go home and never return to the outside ever again." He said, holding onto her arm as firm as with Jude's arm earlier, if not even tighter.

Nele took all her things and reluctantly followed. She looked down at the ground while walking the entire time. She hated the thought of going back, but if it saves the others she would sadly have to accept that. At the supermarket, Elfriede took her downstairs to the cult area while her father informed the two he still had work to do. Nele slowly went back into her room which was way more empty without Jude, Robin and not even Gudrun. She layed down on it and cried, that was all she could do for now.

Nele's only hope persists of Gudrun hopefully coming up with a plan to get her back. Until then she would have to endure the cult a little longer. She could handle it, right? It was just being between brainwashed adults that would be ready to hurt others for her bastard of a father. Nele walked to the mirror and looked at her hair. Her look being different from anyone else's was a reason she was so valuable to them in their eyes. She was going to take that from them.

She picked up a nearby dagger and began cutting her hair short. Hair holds memories, but she'd rather forget everyone and everything...
