“In tons loaded with fear and disbelief, anger and fury, fruit of one's own fault, torn arms bearing the weight of all the struggle, broken spine, mutilated fingers, denied by God, forgotten by the heavens, remembered by the hated, in the presence of own omnipotence, I deny its presence and cry out for its non-existence, that is my belief” -Louf

The Faith Providence Highschool Ghost Hunters Club is tightening its belts for an expedition into the Pool Park Asylum. This building fell into disuse after serving as a treatment facility for individuals with mental health issues. The reasons behind its collapse are complex and varied, despite the apparent sparing of no expense in its construction. However, a myriad of scandals has imbued the building's history with an absurd and terrifying value, leading to its failure in the market and eventual abandonment.

Rumors abound of horrifying occurrences such as poltergeist activity, shadowy apparitions, whispers, and the screams of a woman. It is said, like a comet returning once in a century, there was once a patient whose outer beauty was inversely proportional to her tormented psyche. Ostracized from her family for bringing shame and deemed to have no future, she became prey to the predatory behavior masked as medical treatment, sealing her fate in darkness and despair.

Anyone daring to step foot in this place is assured a fatal outcome.

The three friends had been worried before. This was because before Ren found the villa's location on the pamphlet, they had already visited 3 accommodations and declined to stay because they were expensive, wandering for three hours just looking at the forest stretches beside them.

However, their worries were alleviated after they found the Villa, owned by Lady De Polcester.

Yet...

It was during their stay at Lady De Polcester's Villa that their sense of worry began to grow again.
