Wearing a blue t-shirt, black skirt with bike shorts underneath, and white tennis shoes, Victoria strolled into Sakuramori for the first time since the "Night of Eternal Darkness" incident and the disbanding of Black Rose. She had come here to follow up on the note from Florence Manderley, a woman who claimed to be a friend of her adopted father Lawrence Sheridan. Victoria was fairly certain that Sakuramori had resisted the influence of the Corlones because the town still proudly displayed Black Rose's emblem on banners and other locations. She was not worried about the Corlones because her magic had become stronger since her capture by the criminal organization. If they came after her again, she was able and willing to defend herself.
A police officer walked up to Victoria and greeted her.
"Hey there kid. I heard about what happened to Black Rose. That's sad to hear." The male officer said to her.
"Yeah, it is." Victoria commented.
"Black Rose always looked after us. They saved the town from those weird things that night and none of the townspeople even knew anything was amiss. Without Black Rose's protection, I'm not sure if we would have made it through the night." He continued.
"As far as I'm concerned, we'll always be part of Black Rose. Their mages are always welcome here." He concluded. Victoria was pleased to hear that. Sakuramori could be considered a safe zone for her and other ex-Black Rose members.
"So kid, what brings you here?" The officer asked.
"I'm looking for a woman named Florence Manderley. Do you know where she is?" Victoria asked the man.
"Oh yeah, I can take you there! Follow me." He said to her. Victoria wordlessly followed the officer through the streets of Sakuramori. The mage was taking a trip down Memory Lane.
