"For the last time Coraline, my children and I were very fine living here..." Josephine shook her head and sighed from the same question "you and Mr. Lovat have been acting VERY strange lately, as I recall..you both had that strong urge of pissing each other out, and now.. what just happened?" She asked in a daze, staring at the two standing side by side as if yesterday does not even existed
Coraline and Wybie quickly exchanged glances at each other
"I guess we've finally made amends..."
"I mean, not that I don't want you guys to be friends again..."
Coraline nodded her head and peered through the door to see Marie sitting by the staircase as she carefully holding her baby brother in with affection, she smiled softly at the view
"It's alright Mrs. Beckett, we just wanted to check up on you if there's any.....odd was going on around here..." Wybie added "We were just about to leave right Coraline?" placing his hand on Coraline's shoulder to gain his attention, the blue haired woman nodded her head accordingly
Josephine sighed "oh well, in that case I'll be seeing you on the Christening day then..." waving her hand a goodbye, the Landlord quickly pushed his companion away as they waited for Josephine to dissappear from their sight
To her curiosity, Coraline pulled his arm to whisper at him
"What are you doing? I thought we're going to get inside the house and check on that door?"
In reluctance he shook his head "we will, but not right now...it's too risky..." pulling the string from his neck to reveal the black key dangling...
He's right
It's too risky...
They must have to get closer to the apartment without anyone near them..
Seeing Coraline sighed with him helplessly, Wybie pulled the string higher, seeing both Coraline and the key to his sight
a sudden idea came to his mind
"....what if..the reason I can't it..was that it shouldn't have been me of destroying it from the start..."
"You mean..." she finished and he nodded
"I think, it was you who should break the key Coraline..."
Possible, she did started the curse and it would be wise if she has to end it
She had no other options anyways
"Alright...I'll try..."

Rocking near the fences, Mrs. Lovat sat on her chair staring at the usual hilltops and the falling leaves through the air as they landed softly on the ground, last night she swore she heard strange noises but to weak to even check what it was not to mention, she does not want Coraline nor grandson from getting disturbed from their slumbers...
How times passed by..
One minute you get two see two children minding their own business playing around the area, now already grown up and lots of misunderstanding and grudges merely broke them apart and now seeing them both running towards the garage like little children again is-
Wait, hold on.
Mrs. Lovat quickly adjusted her glasses as she looked again the familiar two figures running
It's her grandson and Coraline
Together
The old woman scratched her in confusion from what even happened between them yesterday.

With no time to waste, the black cat immediately followed his caretaker pulling the metal doors and turning on the lights, activating the blazing hot furnace, Coraline immediately threw the key inside, both stared at the metal began to glow heated up and melted in process
