"It seems your feeling much better now. I'm just wondering why you traveled up here to begin with."66Please respect copyright.PENANAmURcW9gUCT
The nurse interrogated the old man, who seemed more concerned about the problems he caused for the orphanage. "My name is Prof. Ivan Kultz. I was hoping to find something that I left behind years ago. My wife and I used to go on dates up here in our youth, but with all these rumors, nobody was willing to help."66Please respect copyright.PENANAPRrQTR6kzB
"What rumors?"66Please respect copyright.PENANA8sbpbDTuAo
"Do you seriously not know? There are rumors that this place is cursed, that the hill is infested with unimaginable horrors and mystical creatures hoping to feed on human flesh."66Please respect copyright.PENANA8qAL8FRG23
"That's ridiculous. This orphanage never had such problems. You're the strangest thing that climbed this hill so far. When did these rumors start?"66Please respect copyright.PENANA6w7ugNRS3k
"Around two years ago. I'm sorry, but I think I need to go. My wife must be worried sick."66Please respect copyright.PENANAWISIyakrjy
"We'll go with you." Entering the room was Ms. Melody. "Since the children are asleep, we'll walk down with you to make sure there are no more encounters."66Please respect copyright.PENANAasQGXJA48r
"That's not necessary."66Please respect copyright.PENANAhUHAha6eUI
"It is. I contacted the ranger, and he said he came up empty handed. If this monster of yours is still roaming about, it's less likely to attack a group of people or anyone well armed." Ms. Melody pulled out a pistol from her pocket. "Trust me, nothing will happen to us."66Please respect copyright.PENANAHhY9gJsvwD
"You keep something like that in the orphanage?"66Please respect copyright.PENANAaSJt9khSFI
"The children know nothing of it. Let's say if they did happen to stumble across it, they would need to know a very long password."66Please respect copyright.PENANAhQmZCgQHEj
"I see. It's late out, so we should take some flashlights as well."66Please respect copyright.PENANAlYjWa3Z3Cm
"Already obtained!" Nurse Chiaka pulled out three flashlights from a nearby cabinet. "This orphanage is starting to feel more like an asylum." The old man joked.66Please respect copyright.PENANAEZCcS2RIBH

Stepping outside in the cold night, the trio started making their way down the hill. "I admit that we are a strange group, but we are just like anyone else in the city." Ms. Melody explained. "This orphanage used to be a special place, but now those rumors you mentioned, have caused the children to be forgotten."66Please respect copyright.PENANAtXdcNrdvHE
"It's true. I fear the day when we need to make the decision to throw Winter out. As much as we would like to see her have a family again, we have no other choice but to follow the rules when the time comes."66Please respect copyright.PENANAnppEo2RHmn
"Where will she go?"66Please respect copyright.PENANA1bRpi85GW9
"That's not for us to decide." Ms. Melody answered bluntly. "We can't help her any more than she can help herself."66Please respect copyright.PENANAawHZRUGpHs
The professor stayed silent, turning his focus towards the night sky. Yet, something was amiss. The sky above him started to form a large hole, and within no time at all, a bright light flooded their vision. "W-What is this?" 66Please respect copyright.PENANAZsrFCUcB9N
Ivan's words were never heard, for within that very instant, the entire world went silent. The now empty vehicles crashed into buildings, the stores had goods that nobody would ever buy again, and the only breathing life left, slept within the orphanage.66Please respect copyright.PENANA0jwoC3qf5z
