The group cautiously entered the house, but when they did, they saw a chilling sight. The interior was filled with lifeless bodies. It was clear that whoever had carried out this gruesome act had already left, leaving behind a scene of devastation in their wake. Osore muttered a couple curse words beneath her breath before she turned to her teammates. "We're too late. We need to regroup and reassess our strategy. Whoever did this is not to be underestimated, and we cannot afford to make any more mistakes."

With a heavy sigh, she motioned for the group to leave and follow her home. "You think it was Phantom?" Ivy wondered. "It may have been," Osore answered. "Don't you think we should at least cover our weapons in some of the blood so we don't get in trouble with the mastah when we get home?" Tsunami asked. Osore paused, considering Tsunami's suggestion carefully.

"It's a risky move," she admitted, seeming uncertain, "but I suppose you're right. Plus if we're lucky we can hopefully find traces of the killer." With a nod of agreement from the others, they set to work, carefully dipping their weapons into the blood of the fallen. The group navigated their way through the many dead bodies.

Nova paused in her steps. She looked up, locking eyes with Phantom. A sense of curiosity and recognition came over her. Despite the hesitation evident in Phantom's stance, Nova couldn't shake the feeling of familiarity that seemed to linger between them. It was as if she was staring into a distorted reflection of herself, with Phantom's glowing violet eyes being the only difference between them.

As Nova slowly approached Phantom, a sense of determination fueled her steps, her mind swirling with unanswered questions and a desire to unravel the mysteries that seemed to surround their enigmatic encounter. However, with each step she took, Phantom seemed to retreat further into the shadows, evading her grasp and leaving Nova frustrated.

As the girls returned to their neighborhood, they took off their hoodies, reverting to their normal appearances. Penelope exchanged her high-tech glasses for her regular ones, blending seamlessly into the crowd. Jessie let her hair down, allowing it to fall freely around her shoulders as she undid the braids and finger-combed it into place. Alice tied her hoodie around her waist, having a more relaxed posture as she navigated the familiar streets with ease. As they moved through the neighborhood, their neighbors greeted them with nods and smiles, acknowledging their presence with warmth and familiarity.
