Back in the Ostrich Academy, Vincent arrived as dawn broke and went to see Francis, putting on a distressed expression.
Even though he knew Michelle was perfectly fine.
"Did you find her?" he asked the moment he found Francis.
But Francis could only helplessly shake his head.
Ana Ostrich was nowhere to be found.
Hearing that, Vincent looked devastated.
And it was understandable.
Just a few weeks prior, someone had nearly drowned his daughter in a lake.
To keep her safe, Vincent sent her to the academy for protection, but from there, she disappeared without any trace at the same time as a gruesome scene straight out of a torture chamber appeared in her dorm room.
Any parent would be devastated if something like that happened to their child.
Francis tried to reassure Vincent that Ana would be found, but even he doubted it.
That was until a letter came to the academy, bearing a strange seal.
