Aziel

 "What happened?! Etzia!"

Cyd

peeking from his hiding spot, raises his voice defensively.

 "I think I didn't get all the black bolus... I mean, the black ones! They might have... done something."

Aziel

glares at Cyd, frustration evident.

Aziel

"Are you serious right now? What if she's... in trouble?"

Cyd 

feeling guilty.

Etzia

(interject) 

She is just sleeping.

Aziel

This works too now we can leave.

After the game, Etzia, Aziel, and Cyd decide to leave the house not seeing by the agents to search for Detective Collins. 

 A dimly lit alleyway in the heart of the city. Professor Hiyoshi and Detective Collins are huddled beneath the sparse glow of a streetlight, scanning their surroundings. The tension is palpable.

Professor Hiyoshi 

looks anxious as he glances over his shoulder.


Professor Hiyoshi

"Detective, this isn't just about the Numen users anymore. I can feel it. We're being watched."

Detective Collins tightens his jaw, his instincts kicking in.


Detective Collins: "I've noticed. There's been a car following us since we left the last street. Keeps two blocks back, but it's definitely there."

Professor Hiyoshi 

furrows his brow.


 Detective Collins

"Do you think it's the same connected to the Numen users? Or someone else entirely?

Professor Hiyoshi 

shrugs, trying to remain grounded despite the uncertainty.


Detective Collins

"Could be both. Either way, we need to tread carefully. We can't risk being spotted."

Suddenly, a shadow slips out from behind a nearby dumpster, startling them both. A hooded figure emerges, hands raised in a gesture of peace.

Professor Hiyoshi 

takes a cautious step back, eyeing the stranger

 "Who are you? What do you want from us?"

Hooded Figure

"My name is Solara. I've been I am here looking detective Collins

 I know he saw a Follow. 

Professor Hiyoshi

He was trigger of something.

Detective Collins 

Saw professor reaction.

Solara 

quickly gestures toward the alley's entrance.
