Enola wandered Dr. Stein’s little building aimlessly, searching for the mad doctor. As Enola was told, Anguis was to be “finished” tonight. In preparation, Enola brought with her a tattered cloak in case her once-dead cousin needed the clothing. Of course, that was assuming Dr. Stein’s procedure went as expected.
Enola sighed, wandering how she’d ended up in this mess. Oh, that’s right…
The young maid held hand to her mouth as she read the letter: her cousin, Anguis Pisa, had died in an apparent accident. Enola didn’t buy it though. The circumstances were too strange and it wouldn’t be the first time the Pisa family had murdered one of its own for gain. Despicable.
Anguis and Enola had never gotten along; Anguis, like the rest of the Pisa family, despised her. Still, Enola couldn’t help but pity the fate of her cousin.
Enola left her room and went to one of the numerous studies of the Shohei manor, where she promptly threw the letter into the lit fireplace. She would have nothing else to do with the matter. At least that's what she thought.
Enola rubbed her fingers under her glasses and along her eyes. She sat at the counter of a bar placed within the best hotel in Hargeon Town. Normally, she wouldn’t even think about entering the place due to the outrageous prices but Kihia Avoa had given her a ticket good for a one-night stay as a reward for her C rank exam. Boy, did she need it. She was still recovering from the news of her cousin’s death. She wanted to believe she didn’t care… but she did.
“Dude, what is that thing!?”
Enola craned her head toward the opposite side of the bar to see two men and a strange creature between them.
“It’s Sparky! You remember, my dog?”
The other man was certainly startled; he hopped up on the nearest chair in fact. “No! Sparky didn’t have a cat’s head… and I’m pretty sure he died like a week ago!”
“Yeah, but check this out: I met this guy – he’s like a doctor or something – and he can bring dead things back to life! He can even mix animals together! See? Sparky’s a cat-dog now! Isn’t he cute?”
“He’s a freak of nature!”
For several minutes, the two battered back and forth until, finally, Enola interrupted them to inquire about this doctor…
Enola shuddered when she recalled digging up Anguis’ corpse at Dr. Stein’s request. The most grotesque part about it was the memory of her crushed legs. Enola couldn’t help but doubt that anything could be done. Regardless, she continued her search for Dr. Stein throughout the building.
