“I-I have an idea...” Words nobody heard from Maggie before. “I should get into that air duct like in a spy movie!”
“Right, and why are you telling me this…?”
“Uh, for a second opinion.”
“If you want my opinion, air ducts are dirty, too small, barely resistant and nothing like they show in movies. And more importantly, I don’t think they can hold your weight.”

“I would like you to know my tummy isn’t as soft as it used to be, thank you.” Maggie’s proud of her accomplishments.
“I’m not calling you fat, idiot. Even if you were a twig with hands that wouldn’t make a difference!”
“Sheesh, who made you an air duct expert…?”
“I had my fair share of thrilling adventures.” Odetta proudly pumps her chest.

“Didn’t you say you lost your memories? This is why I don’t trust ghosts...”
“I’m NOT a fuckin’ GHOST!”
“I’ll do it anyway!” Maggie made up her mind!

Maggie somehow leaps like a salmon and reaches the air duct up on the wall. The screws were so old she could rip the grate no problem! She gets inside the large compartment and puts everything back like nothing happened.

“Woah! I didn’t know it was this easy! Allie is right! Exercising is really awesome!” Maggie is happy with her efforts.
“Focus. Now.” Odetta claps. “Nobody noticed us, but that doesn’t mean the job is done. Find the nearest exit quick!”
“Aye, aye!” Maggie’s spirits are up.

The cocky high schooler traverses the air ducts until she finds and exit. Without any issues, she goes outside! She’s at the parking lot! Fast, easy and clean!

“See, I’m not that heavy!” Maggie proudly states.
“This place is clean as a whistle with some screws loose. You sure this isn’t a mental institute?” Odetta jokes.
“I thought we were in a morgue.” Maggie is clueless.

“No, that’s where we need to go now! Move on, steed!”
“Aye, aye, captain!” Maggie starts sneaking towards the morgue’s entrance.
“C-Captain? What…? Whatever…” Odetta doesn’t understand Maggie.

“I know what a steed is, by the way… It’s like hard to throw jokes when everyone thinks you’re stupid…” Maggie responds.
“Y-Yeah, you should be quiet though, we’re halfway there and we still need to be sneaky sneaky…”

Alfred’s instructions are the exact same path he followed Heidi to get to the room, so there is almost no chance Maggie can replicate her strategy in this part of the building.

What does Maggie do now?

“Uhm, do you remember Allie’s instructions?” Maggie asks Odetta. She knows deep down Allie knows best!
“Of course I do, my mind is so empty every bit of information I receive gets stored.” Odetta points at her head.
“Then please guide me!”

“Aye, Aye, steed! What kind of horsewoman would I be if I refuse?” Odetta makes another one of her jokes. “I’ll be your melodious GPS! Now please go straight through this hallway…”
“Thank you…” Maggie starts running like a gazelle!

Will Maggie find the way unnoticed? We’ll find out immediately!

Meanwhile back with Alfred…

“Why is everyone acting so strange…?” Madotsuki murmurs to herself. Completely understandable from her point of view.
“I’m sorry.” You can not help but to apologize yet again. Those two should be here by now, right?

Out of the blue, you hear two people discussing outside! It’s Heidi and Maggie! You heard their dumb discussion from the phone! Holy smokes! Trusting Maggie actually worked. The door is unlocked and the two women enter the room...


“Allie, I’m here!” A proud Maggie points at herself.
“I now believe what you said was true, Alfred. I apologize for not trusting you, it’s not going to HAPPEN again.” Heidi bows apologetically.

“I need the phone.” You pull out yours! You need Odetta back.
“Oh right…” Maggie pulls the bald man’s phone and hands it to you.

You activate the app on your phone, inexplicably a green beam comes out of the bald man’s phone and goes directly to yours…

“Missed me?” Odetta winks from your phone.
“I was listening to you the whole time.” You remind her.
“But you couldn’t see my lovely smile.” Odetta smirks.

“Huh… Allie, what now?” Maggie closes the door in fear of being caught. “I was lucky and I got here without anyone finding out and shit. But what should we do now?!”
“Don’t worry about security, I’ll HANDLE it myself if necessary. HAHA!” Heidi chimes in.
“Uhm… Are we going to go see my dad now?” Madotsuki wonders.

This is it!

What do you do?!

You get closer to your phone and whisper. “Odetta, can you help us out…?”
“With what?” Odetta’s smile shrinks.
“I need to call Madotsuki’s dad. And he’s…”

“Dead I presume? I figured with what I heard before…” Odetta lacks tact, and that’s a lot coming from you. “Would love to, but you know, there is so much I can do without my body…”
“Are you extorting me? You said you could see other specters.”
“Hey, who’s the expert here?” Odetta pouts. “Unless you want me to be a glorified translator, you should find my body.”

“What’s going on…?” At this point, this should be Madotsuki’s catchphrase. She gets closer to you and tilts her head in confusion.
“Ehm, this is Odetta. She’s going to help me find where your father is.” You point to your phone.
“Uhm, okay! Hello there!” Madotsuki waves at the phone.
“Y-Yes, hello…” Odetta looks uncomfortable for the first time.

“Are you explaining to Maddie what that green beam was? Because I’m also curious! HAHA!” Heidi chimes in as well and takes a peek.
“I-It’s better if you don’t know what’s going on, honest.” Maggie explains so much about herself with that she just said.
“HOLD on a second, that’s the patient you were searching for! She’s now moving! I knew it!” Heidi finds out. “Why did you lie to me, Alfred? Mmmmm…?” Heidi is now suspicious of you…

What do you say?!

“Because would you believe me if told you I had a dea—I mean, an astral projection of a STILL living girl in my phone?” You explain to Heidi.
“I’m a fan of the occult, so yes!” Heidi looks enthusiastic. You don’t know what you expected. “But I understand why you would be so HESITANT.”
“Right… It’s a long story that I’m willing to tell once we find my friend Odetta. Can you take us where she is?”

“It’s against our protocol to bring one more person over there, but I’ve been very unfair to you today – so very well. Follow me everyone!” Heidi walks away leading the troop!

Madotsuki is utterly perplexed by everything she doesn’t move.

“C’mon, Madotsuki. Now it’s time…” You reassure.
“Okay…” Her trust is almost gone…

Maggie gets closer to the little girl and give her words of her own. “Allie always knows what to do. He’s cool like that. I’m Maggie by the way.”
“I’m Madotsuki…” She’s now very wary of both of you, great…
“Maddie and Maggie. They sound pretty similar, right? Hehehe.” Maggie smiles.
“Y-Yeah, they do.” Madotsuki giggles too.

And so the four of you traverse the hospital to a special ward… Heidi slices a card on a little machine and the door opens. How secretive…

There are some machinery inside, all attached to a bed and a patient – a girl you are very familiar with.

“Woah, it’s Odetta!” Maggie is the first one to break the ice by stating the obvious.
“Indeed, but—“
“What?! Is that really me?! See, I told you all I was alive! I TOLD YOU I WAS ALIVE! HAHAHAHA!” Odetta is going crazy on your phone, interrupting Heidi in the process. But…

“She looks so weak…” Maggie realizes as she mutters to herself. Odetta’s body is in awful shape indeed, but something is wrong…
“FINALLY! NOW ALFRED! LET ME GO! FREE ME FROM THIS JUNK FILLED CARCASS! YAHOOO!” Odetta wants out…

Maybe it’s time to break her free, right…?

What do you do?

“Odetta, calm down. Something is wrong here.” You ask her to keep her wits.
“Alfred, you have me captivated in here, but I’m no longer required to be inside your stupid phone. Now. Let. Me. GO.” Odetta as calmly as she can pretend to be, tries to reason with you.
“O-Odetta, you don’t understand… It’s like… Not good at all…” Maggie comes to your aid.

“I don’t care in what state my fuckin’ body is! LET ME GO!” Odetta starts batting on the screen. “LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO…!” She’s going absolutely mental. You turn down the volume of your phone…
“Heidi, what’s going on…?” You want some answers.

“I found HER like this, someone dropped her body in this state months ago. No records. No name. No results anywhere. Nothing. She doesn’t exist… She’s basically my best kept secret now.” Heidi reveals.
“A-Are you doing some crazy experiments on her or something?!” Maggie jumps the gun with some merit to what she’s saying...
“There would be no reason for me to show you any of this if that’s the case. And even if I did, I wouldn’t want Maddie to find out!” Heidi doesn’t sound too reassuring there.

“Is there some type of explanation you can give us, please? How can you find someone in this state?” You’re perplexed.
“All I’m going to say are my own conjectures, do not disclose any of this information to anyone, UNDERSTOOD?” Heidi stern tone makes everyone pay attention. “I believe she’s an enemy of the state or has a very wealthy foe, someone with connections with the government. You know our country, at the end of the day we still have an authoritarian president and... You know what that means. That’s what an uncle of mine who is very savvy about military matters told me when I told him about her.”

“I don’t follow… Why is she alive then?” The questions keep coming to your head.
“Maybe organ HARVESTING? Your guess is as good as mine.”
“But why drop her here of all places?”
“Lester, probably. That man has something to do with all of this, I know it. HE looked furious during the time she ‘disappeared’.” Heidi disclosed. “Nobody in this HOSPITAL knows a thing about HER. I’ve been taking care of HER all by myself, well, with the HELP of my family – oh Kata, HOW much I miss your HELP right now…”

“But why do all of this…?”
“Why you ask? Simple! My job is to HELP people and I love it! HEHEHE!” Heidi would be smiling right now.
“I still have so many questions…”
“I HAVE some as well! I just cannot wait for HER to wake up!”

“But is she fine…? Is she just in a coma…?”
“…I won’t go into details. But let me tell you, it’s a miracle she’s alive right now. And with some therapy, anything is possible for Odetta!” Heidi tries to be optimistic.

“W-Was it necessary for Maddie to hear all of this…?” Maggie chimes in after being petrified the whole time listening to this horror. You bet she wanted to say her name instead of Madotsuki’s.
“…” Madotsuki remains silent as well.

“…..Not really, HOOPSIES!” Heidi is an idiot!

You turn back the volume of your phone and ask Odetta if she listened to everything…

“...ME GO!” Was Odetta yelling this whole time?! “I’m kidding, I stopped way before this! The nerve of you muting me like that! And yes, I did! Now return me to my body!”

What do you do?

“Your call Odetta, but before you decide to go or not, take a look at your body and decide for yourself.” You turn the screen towards the bed.
“Goodness gracious, what the fuck happened to my hair…?!” That’s Odetta’s first comment. How vain. “W-Woah, I’ve a lot work a-ahead of me, huh? I mean there is no point stayin’ like I am now…” Her cockiness slowly evaporates.
“Having second thoughts?”

“N-No! Second thoughts?! I lost all of my first thoughts, I want my memory back! I’ll be whole again! And I’ll have my revenge! Now Alfred, do me the honors and set me free!” Odetta’s thirst for vengeance fills her a second life!
“Go forth…” You point your phone towards Odetta’s body… The same green beam that has come twice emanates from your phone and directly finds her new home! Odetta’s body flinches for a second, then goes back to normal.

A few moments of silence and nothing seems to happen…

“Did it work…?” Maggie is the first one to question the procedure. The three women turns to you.
“I don’t know. I’m not an expert.” Your Mafuba is level 1! 1!

“…Of course it worked, you idiot.” That’s Odetta’s voice! Just 10 times more raspy and exhausted. She’s alive! Alive! Odetta opens her eyes and grins from ear to ear. “Take this crap off me… Fuckin’ hell this hurts…” She’s trying to sit.

“Woah, take it easy, dear! Your body hasn’t moved for months, remember? We need to start scheduling your rehabi—”
“Shut up… I don’t need any of that crap…” Odetta shuts Heidi and sits on the bed. The doctor immediately gets closer and starts checking on Odetta. “What I need is a fuckin’ haircut and a massage…”
“Odetta, if you move too suddenly, you could tear your—”

“Who the fuck do you think am I? I’m fine.” Odetta again rudely interrupts Heidi as she tries to stand up.
“You’re going to start listening to Heidi, or else your stay here will be permanent.” You try to make Odetta go back to her senses, as you try to hold her down with Heidi.
“I know what I am doing! I finally remember everything…!” Odetta looks joyful despite being restrained. “I want some water… And something to eat! Maggie, give me your hairband, this hair is getting in the way!”

“A-Alright…” Maggie helps her out while Odetta finally relents and gets back inside the bed.
“Thanks. Listen to me, I swear I’m fine. Examine me all you want. I’m good to go.” Odetta says with too much confidence. “Little girl, Madotsuki! I’ll find your pops. Least I can do for all of you… Tell me his name and I’ll do the trick now...”

Madotsuki’s eyes start radiating hope! But is Odetta really capable to help now?!

Supporting this. Checkup first. During the checkup we can tell Maddie that Odetta's a psychic that needed our help, which is why we came here in the first place. But Odetta should be able to help find her dad much easier than us working solo since she can detect thoughts and astral project and stuff.

“Stop. You need a check-up first. If Madotsuki has waited out this whole mess, I believe she can wait another couple of minutes.” You deny Odetta! “Fat lot of good your body will do you, if you can literally drop dead any second in the shape you’re in, Odetta.”
“There is nothing worse than an unruly patient if I do say so myself! The only one you’re going to HURT is yourself!” Heidi agrees with you.

“Gah…! I’m the picture of perfect health!” Odetta points to her crazy and unhealthy face to drive the point.
“You look like a skunk who just got run over…” Maggie makes fun of the ill girl.
“Bleh, it’s ‘cause of your hair tie.” Odetta kids herself… “Whatever, just do it…” She relents.
“Good girl! HEHE!” Heidi patronizes Odetta as she takes some stuff out to examine! Where was she keeping all that stuff…?

You take Madotsuki aside and explain to her what’s going on.

“Odetta is a psychic that needed our help, that’s the reason why we came here at first. With her help, it’s going to be so much easier to find your father with her abilities.” You avowed.
“Cooool.” Madotsuki looks interested in what that conveys. “But isn’t my father here…? Why do we need her?”
“Because it’s not that easy for some reason. Ask Heidi.” You shrug and take off some of the heat. “I don’t work here.”
“O-Okay…” Maddie thinks that’s a fair point.

Heidi ends her examination and has some news for everyone!

“I can’t say in good conscience say that you’re fine. Apologies.” Heidi reported what should be given…
“You think it’s normal for someone in my condition to be this healthy at this point…? I was not in a coma, I was in a prolonged sleep! I’m good to go, you hear me?!” Odetta is really pissed with her diagnosis.
“You look good to me if that’s worth anything…” Maggie doesn’t understand the severity of the psyche’s condition.

“Tell me what I need to do to leave this place now… Let me show you I’m alright… I don’t need your help, I just need some time and I'll be as good as always. Do you understand what I'm saying?! Are you even processing what is happening now?! And you call yourself a doctor?!” Odetta’s ire agonizes each past second. “Alfred… Help me out here, will ya?”

You give a quick glance to Heidi, who only shakes her head - not a good sign...

What do you do now…?

“Heidi, indulge her please. Give her a test or something.” You want to give Odetta one last chance.
“I can spell the alphabet backwards if you want.” Odetta’s sense of humor didn’t die that easily.
“Examining HER served that purpose...” Heidi shakes her head.

“Anything to make your beak stay out of my business!” Odetta is begging.
Heidi sighs. “It’s going to be painful, but you’re the one who is going to deal with the consequences…” Heidi taps her beak. “Squats. 10 reps.”
“S-Squats…?!” Odetta is in shock. “W-Why not some trivia!?”

“Woah, i-isn’t she like going to tear something doing that…?” Maggie seems to be speaking from experience.
“Since we already established I’m a terrible physician. Why not?” Heidi is a petty woman. “Please do not aid her until she’s done, understood?”
“Uhm…” Maddie is uncomfortable with the situation. Again.

“You heard her, Odetta.” You pump your ex-ghost up.
“Y-Yeah, it’ll be a breeze…” Odetta doesn’t sound too reassuring.

Odetta, in agonizing pain, does a couple of reps before collapsing like a loser, but then stands up again and somehow finds the inner strength to finish the challenge! What the fuck?! It was painful to watch, but at the same time somewhat morbidly entertaining! Good for her.

“Ha…!” Odetta smiles at Heidi. You help her get to the bed, she’s very light.
“Sheesh… I couldn’t even do five like a week ago! She’s a monster!” Maggie is really impressed.
“Take a rest. You’ve done enough damage to your body as it is.” Heidi shakes her head. From one big closet, Heidi takes out a wheelchair for Odetta. “I HOPE you’re HAPPY. I’m a woman of my word.”

“Keep that to yourself, I can walk…” Odetta is one exhausted unruly girl.
“You still need rehab. You’re only destroying yourself if you continue being this stubborn. Alfred, she’ll be in your care, correct?” Heidi looks at both of you. “I can only visit Odetta once a week. So I need you to listen to my instructions now and nurse her back to HEALTH yourself, understood?”

“Sure. Got any tips for rehabilitation?” You accept the responsibility. You do everything anyway, you’re used to it.
“That’s what I’m about to explain!” Heidi is excited to talk about what your job is going to entail! Oh boy, this is going to take a while, you might need to take some notes. You pull out your phone to write out everything…

You dip inside the vast knowledge of the dark arts of medicine…

“…And again, HYDRATION is important!” Heidi ends her tutorial.
“Right.” A strict regimen of health and fitness is going to be!

“Odetta, how are you feeling?” Maggie is the one “driving” the wheelchair.
“I spent the last hour explaining to everyone I’m fine, so take a guess...” Sarcasm: Everyone’s favorite type of answer. Odetta can’t hide her displeasure.
“You’re really mean, you know that?” Maggie pouts. “Maybe because you’re starving, happens to me often. Maybe we should go eat something…”
“Now I like the sound of that! I want a big fat slice of pizza now!”

“Nothing unhealthy for now, miss. Alfred will control your diet from now on.” Heidi scolds Odetta.
“A male nurse? Bleh…” Odetta is not happy with this arrangement.
“Uhm… Can we go see my dad now?” Madotsuki injects herself into the conversation. She has the patience of a saint, or it finally ran out. Whatever it is, nothing should stop Odetta now, right?

“Alright, Odetta. It’s finally time to show us your skills.” Time to see this totally alive girl do what she does best.
“The least I can do, right?” Odetta smirks then she turns to Madotsuki and pulls her wheelchair to her. “What’s your pops’ name, little girl?”
“It’s… uhm- Harry Demoniacal.” Madotsuki’s eyes glow of hope once again.

“Before I do this…” Odetta turns to you three with uncharacteristic seriousness. “…Things might get too personal here, so – take a hike or something.”

Should you leave?

“It’s up to Madotsuki who stays.” It truly is. It’s her moment.

Madotsuki, with little hesitation, grabs you and Heidi’s hands, and drags you two closer to the girl in the wheelchair. Her wish is clear! Sadly that means…

“I-I’m sorry, I j-just don’t know you that well…” Maddie’s apology comes from the heart. “Next time, maybe.”
“Meh, I’ll be outside then…” W-Why does Maggie looks relieved…? Is she that afraid of ghosts?! She walks away from the room, and shuts the metal door behind her…
“She took it well.” Odetta is fairly impressed.

“You sure you want me here?” You ask the gloomy little girl.
“Mhm, I want my dad to meet, uhm, my new f-friend…” Madotsuki smiles! At least you think, you can’t see her face...

“I-I don’t know if I’m mentally prepared for this...” You can feel Heidi’s anxiety rising.
“Why?” Maddie tilts her head in confusion.
“N-No r-reason in particular! I’m just being silly! HOOPSIES!” Heidi fails miserably to play it cool.

“Keep your mouths shut for a minute…” Odetta begins concentrating! A green aura emanates from her and the atmosphere inside the room feels heavier. After a couple of minutes of heart-racing silence, Odetta puts a stop to this unsettlingly loud silence. “Err… This isn’t going to sound pretty, but after we’re done with this… We won’t be able to do this again, alright…?”

Madotsuki nods in a second! It’s settled…

From Odetta’s eyes, light starts emanating – no, a projection of sorts! A languorous man wearing glasses comes from it, is he...? Now the projection moves like a hologram until slowly transforming into something solid, like he’s made of skin and bones! Odetta is frozen in her state and is drooling a bit from her mouth.

“Dad?” Maggie’s eyes are sparkling with happiness. She gets closer to this projection and somehow hugs it! “Dad!”
“Maddie, that you? Oh goodness, gracious!” The projection talks and he’s obviously Madotsuki’s father! “I’m so sorry for not saying goodbye in time… But I got another chance, so hooray!” He hugs her back. After a good 30 seconds of joyfulness. The man realizes there are more people here. “Oh, Miss Heidi! You’re here as well!”

“M-M-Mr. Demoniacal, I can not believe this! I-I really can’t HANDLE THIS! Apologies…! So many apologies for everything…! If only… I wasn’t…” Heidi looks away in tears and runs to a corner. You presume from all the sobbing you’re hearing anyway...
“Haha, it’s all right. You did what you could!” The aloof man responds. “Oh, you must be a friend of hers. Nice to meet you!” He raises a brow when he acknowledges you.
“Nice to meet you too, Mr. Demoniacal.” You cordially reply to the astral body (?).

“He’s my friend… His name is Alfred.” Madotsuki corrects her dad.
“Oh wow, that’s great! It’s good to know you have someone to talk to now aside from Ms. Heidi over there, your friend from school and that Manami girl.” Harry Demoniacal looks very happy to hear that. “Alfred, Madotsuki got a good heart, even if she doesn’t wanna seem like it sometimes. Be a good friend to her, please.”

“Sure, and Madotsuki, you were right. Your dad is cool.” You smile. Maddie blushes as she hides behind her dad.
“Haha, I don’t know about that!” Harry tries to sound humble. The aloof man turns to her daughter. “Maddie, I talked with the girl over there and this will be the last chance we are going to have to talk with each other and I don’t have much time.”

“Uh…?” Madotsuki is in shock.
“Maddie…” Her dad is trying to make her see reality. “You know the truth.”
“…” Tears start falling down Maddie’s cheeks. Her dad grabs her shoulders.

“You knew I wasn’t going to be around forever, Madotsuki. Just—… do your best, okay? I know you find the real world scary, and sure it can be, but you need to look out for yourself from now on. If you treat people right like you have been doing, the world isn’t going to be quite as scary as it can be. I know this is too heavy and everything... but life is what you make of it and uh- I’ll always want you to be happy, so be happy for me, and for you. I love you, Maddie.”
“I-I l-love you too, d-dad…”

Madotsuki and her dad hug for one last time as the astral body starts disappearing into the air, leaving the little girl hugging nothing…

You give Odetta a quick glance to check if she’s conscious or not…

“…That never happened before.” Odetta is bemused with what just happened. She stares at the ceiling almost looking like she’s reevaluating her whole life. Then slowly you see her getting sleepy.

Since Odetta is in no trouble, you check on Madotsuki now – the little girl wipes the tears out of her face, but keeps sniffing. Heartbreaking stuff.

“How are you feeling?” You try to grab her attention.
“T-Thank you…” Maddie doesn’t even bother to give a response to your question.
“I didn’t do anything.”

Madotsuki stares at you with a “don’t be silly” type of expression. She then looks up to the ceiling.

“I-I’m going to miss him…”
“I know the feeling.” You pat her on the back.

Madotsuki is incredibly lucky, she got a chance to say good-bye at least.

…

Life goes on after the emotional scene is over. You and Madotsuki changed contacts and promised each other to keep being friends. Heidi’s marbels came back only to torture her for not being able to keep her composure. Odetta ended up falling asleep from exhaustion, she really pushed herself for this whole thing to happen – you left her on the bed, and after another quick check-up, Heidi determined she’s no worse than before, but she can’t call it “fine”. You don’t know what to make of what happened, but you’re glad you could’ve been of help!

You gained +1 Charisma and +1 Courage Experience points for this whole mess!

You feel like you’re forgetting something though…

…

Oh shit, Maggie is still outside! You open the heavy door and went outside, leaving the door closed! There is no one outside but a masked man standing alone, he rudely points directly at your face.

“I finally found you! It’s time for you to pay for what you did to MEEEeeEE!” That me sounded fairly melodious and familiar.
“Who are you and where is the girl?” You aren’t here to indulge whatever play this is.
“Ha! It’s me!” He takes his mask off…! You have no idea who this eccentric man is. “And if you want your girl back, you’ll have to go through me first! I’ll make you pay for what you did, coward!”

“…Who are you?”
“WhaaaAAAAaaat…?!” The man is offended by your comments. “It’s me, it’s me, it’s SPECTRALHOOOOOOOOUND!” He points to himself. He looks different without his usual costume.
“I don’t care.”
“Then fight me!” Freddy raises his fists ready to square this off!

Spectralhound is back with a vengeance! Didn’t he want Catastrovania to pay? What does he have against you?

What do you do?

>“We’ll fight outside then, no reason to fight inside a hospital – let me get my stuff first out of this room…” Go inside the room, close the door and call the cops again.

“Not my idea, I got a friend in jail who helped me, and you called the cops on me!” Spectralhound responds to all your inquiries. “Any more questions…?”
“Yes, one.”

Without hesitation, you successfully kick him in the groin.

Spectralhound loses his whole health bar! OHKO!
Spectralhound is Defeated!

“GAAAaaaahh…!” This time his scream wasn’t melodious at all! Looks like Spectralhound just got neutered.

Now you push him to the ground and start stomping him.

“Gah! Argh! AAah!” He can’t defend himself.
“Talk.” You have your foot on his head.
“Aaaah!” His high pitched screams are obnoxious.
“Talk.” You stomp his body again.

“S-Stop! Stop! O-Outside in a red van! Your girl and my guy should be in there…!”
“Who?”
“A kid named Vender! Please don’t…!”

That fucker…

“Taking her where?” You need more answers.
“A dorm, downtown, called Red Velvet or some shit! Aaaah…! He’s not going anywhere, he’s waiting for me…!”

You kick him one more time for good measure. It doesn’t look like he’s going to stand up anytime soon.

Time is precious! Don’t waste it or there are going to be consequences.

First, you inspect Spectralhound and take his phone just in case. He tried to fend you away, but he was still in too much pain to do anything. You try to go back inside the room, but it’s locked. You bang on the door for a little bit and Madotsuki opens it for you. Heidi is too busy checking Odetta, and Madotsuki stares at you bemused.

Once inside, you call Catastrovania because she is more than likely not to be busy than Bruce. He's probably driving if they are still in the car.

“Al! Is everything all right?!” Catastrovania sounds worried, so worried in fact she didn’t even try to call you her assistant. Good on her for answering immediately too.
“We have a situation, listen to me closely ‘cause we don’t have enough time…”

You explain the urgent situation as best as you can.

“…And where are you two right now?” Your turn to receive information.
“W-We’re circling around the hospital in case any of you needed help to escape! My idea by the way. But… What do we do?!” Catastrovania needs orders! And you need to give them!

What do you do?

>Tell them to be on the lookout for a red van and send them to Red Velvet. You’ll deal with Vender if he’s still here.
>Tell them to come back immediately to the hospital, you’ll do a pincer attack. Vender hasn’t left yet, right? If he did, at least you can join the gang and go to Red Velvet immediately.

“Come back immediately, we’ll do a pincer attack. Else, we all go together to this Red Velvet place.”
“Roger that!” Catastrovania puny fists are ready for some action. “You heard him, Brucey boy…! What do you mean you didn’t hear him?! I-I didn’t have the s-speakers on…?! J-Just go back to the hospital…” She hangs up.

“Hey Heidi, call the staff, I have an injured guy outside.” You inform the strange doctor as you step outside the room.
“Uhm? Excuse me?”

“This guy.” You throw him towards the bed and tie him up using the sheets.
“Ouch…” Spectralhound’s vocal cords are shut.
“Oh my!” Heidi starts examining the supposed rockstar. “What HAPPENED…?”
“My balls…” Spectralhound says without one ounce of shame… Heidi starts checking the area.

“I need to go. Bye Heidi and Maddie!” You start sprinting!
“Take care!” Maddie waves at you despite the horrifying scene you left her in.

Without trouble, you find yourself outside of the parking lot, with the red van in sight parked in the middle for some reason – and with it some unwanted company.

“Shame! I thought better of you, Frederick Conti…” It’s Vender, he’s standing in the front part of the van. “Good evening! Alfred Brown, I didn’t expect any less of you! I believe you’re here to rescue your supposed damsel in distress, am I right?” Vender gently taps the van.
“So they were working together… Props to you, kid. You weren’t lying!” It’s Lester the creepy doctor standing next to Vender. He has four security guards all with their eyes on you. “Now you’ll pay for making humiliating me and stealing my stuff!”

“What a shame, Alfred! But this is all your fault! You wouldn’t be in this pickle if you weren’t a horny little boy who would do anything for any skank out there. But do not fret! This gentleman is going to take real good care of your “lady”. Blehehe!” Vender laughs to himself. Speak for yourself, turbo virgin Ven...

We have the accumulated power of DAILY MORNING EXERCISE on our side.

Lester? Lester's a fatty who might unironically have genuine CP on him at all times, which WILL get him fucked up if the cops catch him. Vender? He's a fucking prettyboy, and not the protagonist kind. No way he'll be able to catch up with Al.

You’re not exactly surrounded, so you can run them off to buy some time for the others to arrive! You turn around slowly and start jogging for your life!

“W-Wait! Y-You’re weren’t supposed to abandon her, you goddamn scum!” Vender is shocked. “W-What are you guys doing?! Go after him, please!”
“Right, go after that kid now!” Lester orders the security guys.

“He’s obviously buying time for something…” One poor security guy notices.
“I don’t care! Go after him! Earn your money, you lazy bum!” Lester gets angry at his men.

The security guards shrug and half-assedly start their pursuit. You all keep a moderate speed in the saddest chase in the history of mankind. You’re just running around a bunch of cars with none of the four guards being bright enough to stay put to wait for you. Heck, you’re not even trying and you’re way faster than them, nobody is putting their hearts into this!

“Hey! Could you vermin at least pretend to care?!” Lester shouts to his men. Making everyone stop on their spot and look at the bald man, nobody says anything but…

“Halt this instant! Uninspired men in awful working conditions will always produce awful results!” Suddenly out of the sky, a slim figure appears and drops in between you and the guards, and the van! It’s Ichie Saionji! That’s not what you were expecting at all! “Iron fist regimens from antiquated leaders have never proved to be anything but a detriment to men in general! People like you still don’t understand how to make the best out of their employees! Your selfishness only drives young men into more despair!”

“W-Who’s this girl and why doesn’t she shut up?!” Lester is taken aback.
“I’m the heir of the Saoinji family, my name is Ichie Saoinji! Nice to meet you all!” Ichie respectfully bows in front of everyone. Nobody is chasing anyone at this point, it doesn’t help the guards are already tired…
“Oh god, it’s Ichie…” Vender facepalms. “Ichie, I told you not to mess with me while I’m dealing with them!” He rudely points at you.

“Your deplorable behavior from a position of privilege has always been a stain on your name, Vender.” Ichie shakes her head. “What Alfred Brown needs is not a beating, but understanding. Something I know very well you can’t provide.”
“He beat me up mercilessly and threw me in jail! I think he needs some punishment!”

“And you want to apply the same violence to him? Didn’t you learn anything from that experience? He’s a man who society abandoned and left him on his own and knows no better! What’s your excuse, hmm?”
“My excuse is that I’m not a degenerate that wants to hurt my friends! He’s plotting something against Aleister, did you forget!?”

It looks like everyone is too distracted with their drivel…

Their chaos is your opportunity, you take out Spectralhound’s phone and dial the police. With your best impression of the supposed rockstar, you inform them about a bomb threat at the hospital. Then you hang up and put the phone back in your pocket.

Meanwhile Ichie, Vender AND Lester are arguing between themselves. The security guards couldn’t be less interested, in fact, you think one of them left. How convenient.

“It’s obvious to me, Vender. You’re completely out of touch with reality! How can you not give this man another opportunity? I bet you attacked him first with that vacuum of yours!” Ichie still arguing in your favor.
“It was three against one! I needed to defend myself!” Vender is pissed.
“But no shame in ganging up against him with six, right?” Ichie won’t back down.

“Personally, your little quarrel is of little importance to me. I only wanted to apprehend a certified criminal and that’s what I’m going to do.” Lester argues against the girl as well.
“Don’t you see that our justice system is inefficient and rehabilitation is the least of their concerns? Throwing a man so young over there is only going to take his future from him hands!”

“That’s none of my concern!” Lester barks back.
“Then shame on you, sir. The indifference you two have towards not only this man but all young men, it’s appalling – no wonder we’re in this situation and this country is crumbling.” Ichie looks indignant with both.

“Fine, do whatever you want with him!” Vender relents and goes inside the van. “I’m done!”
“Good.” Ichie seems content with this deal.
“H-Hey, you were supposed to help me out here!” Lester feels betrayed.
“She’s more trouble than she’s worth. Besides I already have what I wanted!” Vender smirks.

Better late than never, you hear a truck coming through! It’s Bruce and Catastrovania! The gang is finally here!

“Hey Al.” Bruce pulls down the window. Catastrovania moves closer to make her presence known. “W-What do we do now?”

The other three still hasn’t noticed their arrival. The security guards are already moving away from this mess…

“Put the truck in front of the van, so he can’t escape. Be careful.” You won’t let Vender escape.
“R-Roger that.” Bruce slowly but sternly starts driving the truck towards the van!

Meanwhile the disastrous trio are still fighting amongst themselves. Lester puts his fat body in front of Vender’s van, stopping him from escaping – Ichie is still barking at Lester so he leaves you be as well, but none of them are listening to each other.

“P-Please move aside…” Bruce asks very politely to everyone to move away. Ichie and Lester caught on what’s happening and move to the side, leaving Vender’s van trapped between a wall and Bruce’s truck, so incredibly slow that nobody knew how to react. How underwhelming.

“H-Hey! Hey! Hey! Explain yourself!” Vender furiously screams at Bruce and his truck.
“It’s you! Hold on! W-Where is my security?!” Lester looks around, realizing his guards are just waiting by the side with no interest in what’s happening whatsoever.
“That was quite dangerous! You need to be louder than that or an accident might have happened!” Ichie scolds Bruce.

“I-I’m sorry…” Bruce is quick to apologize.
“Do not fret, it’s an honest mistake!” Ichie gracefully accepts his apology.
“Don’t apologize! Did you forget who she is?!” Catastrovania scolds Bruce.
“Yeah, who side are you on?!” Vender is questioning Ichie as well.

“Justice.” Ichie smiles. Vender just facepalms, then he repeatedly presses the horn to make some noise.

Both Bruce and Catastrovania come out of the truck. You get closer to this disaster as well. It’s the three of you against the two of them and maybe you could count Ichie in their group too, right?

“Ichie, that Vender kidnapped our friend Maggie. We just want her back then we will go.” You want to end this peacefully.
“That’s the same dastardly Margaret Duchemin who spread false rumors about my dear friend Aleister and is the true mastermind behind your group whose sole objective is to hurt my previously mentioned dear friend?” Ichie tilts her head.
“Maggie can barely control her own bladder, so I think you have it wrong.” You respond to her accusations.

“Don’t listen to him! Maggie is the one truly despicable and needs some harsh intervention for being so naughty! My intervention!” Vender barks back.
“Eugh, so she’s another one of the skanks you kidnapped?!” Ichie is repulsed by Vender’s actions. “Vender, love yourself a little and give them their friend back please.”
“Also, his friend Spectralhound dropped this.” You hand Ichie the madman’s phone. “Return it to him, please.”

“Thank you and I will! C’mon, Vender, he’s trying to be nice as well! Follow his example and be decent for once!” Ichie smiles at Vender.
“Ichie, you naïve brat! He’s lying to you! Why are you being so idiotic right now?! These ruffians want Aleister dead or worse!” Vender presses the honk again. “Don’t. You. See?!”

“Boo-hoo! Throw a tantrum, little child!” Ichie pulls out some keys out of nowhere. “We, adults, will handle this! I’ll open it up for you, Alfred!” She walks back to the back of the van, you follow her.
“No! No! STOP!” Vender keeps his tantrum going, he knows if he steps out he’s going to get beat up again. Probably by Lester, too.

You accompany Ichie to the back of the van, she opens it and you can see Maggie sleeping! Why is she sleeping…?

“Oh my god, you used chloroform again?!” Ichie is disgusted. Oh, that’s why.
“W-What kind of gentleman doesn’t carry such an important item?!” Vender defends himself poorly.
“I agree.” Lester, who for some reason has left everything pass, says the second worst thing you have heard today.

“Now don’t touch her! She’s never going to be a proper woman if she doesn’t get punished!” Vender is losing it.
“Now, Alfred. You only have to promise me you’re going to be a good boy from now on, and won’t hurt Aleister! Deal?” Ichie gives you a tender smile.

Do you agree?

Ichie, i really respect what your doing. Out of all this cherade of wakos pretending to halfway decent people your the only one of them i can honestly say is a good person. I am going to be a good person i just think our opinions of what that is, is different. Aleister hasnt been a good boy either and i think you know that, but when its time for me to make a choice on him ill try to make the right one for you.

“Yeah, sure.” You lie but sound convincing, you get inside the van and grab Maggie in your arms. “I promise to be a good boy and not hurt anyone that doesn't deserve it. And to not be like Vender and be a creepy perv that kidnaps girls with a van. I'm sorry I stole your phone Lester, I just had a relapse in my judgment and got scared. I hope from this day forth that we can be great friends and laugh this whole mess off with our buddy Aleister.” You avoid vomiting. You can feel Vender's rage from where you are.
“Hey, you don’t look so good…” Ichie is concerned about your well-being.
“It’s the smell inside here.” You step out of the supposedly stinky van. That made Vender even angrier.

“See, Vender? Darkness is not what the heart is made of but a state that’s in.” Ichie feels so smug right now.
“He better keep his word, because next time I’m gonna do things my way! You hear me?!” Vender doesn’t believe one word you say. “And Ichie, you’re so lucky Aleister is fond of you.”

“Stop being so vindictive, Vender. Don’t let your heart turn dark again.” Ichie categorically disapproves of Vender’s methods.
“Time will prove me right…” Vender won’t relent easily though.

You remember handing the bald man’s phone back to Maggie after receiving Odetta back. You search for it.

"Here.” You throw it at Lester and the fat man barely catches it.
“Y-You annoying twerps, I’ll remember this – I’m being nice just because I’m tired...” Just like Vender, he won’t forget easily. You just shrug in response.

You get closer to both of your friends. Catastrovania is completely in shock, while Bruce looks concerned. Who would’ve thought the absolute worst words of the day came out of your mouth? They shouldn’t be this shocked unless they thought you were being serious, maybe you’re a good liar?

“I wish from the bottom of my heart that you change the page, Alfred. You’ll notice your book has quite a fulfilling story for you to tell the world. Can’t wait to hear it myself!” Ichie gives you words of encouragement. “And I want to apologize for everything they did to you and your friends.”
“It’s fine.” No, it’s not. But you keep lying.
“I hope you all have a lovely night!” Ichie smiles.

Your team goes back inside the truck. Catastrovania and Bruce are staring at you in silence for a few seconds.

…

You feel like you’re forgetting something.

What do you do?

>“Let’s go. We need to get out of here.” The police are coming and you don’t want to be around for it. You hope with the evidence you planted it will be enough to screw them over.

“Yes, I lied.” You told everyone just in case.
“Oh, I figured. I’m still just in disbelief those words came out of your mouth...” Catastrovania will never be the same again. “It’s commendable you’re willing to go to this length to protect your allies, you’re a good loyal agent of darkness, indeed. Fufufu…”
“Uhm, if that makes you feel better.” Bruce responds with uncharacteristic sarcasm, he believes you have something planned. “What do we do now…?”

“Drive to the entrance of the morgue, we need to go for Odetta – then we leave.” You can’t leave anyone behind. “We don’t have enough time, so let’s go.”
“Awright…” Bruce starts going backward and away from this mess…

You alone go inside the lobby of the morgue to pick her up, you find Odetta sitting on a couch – eating a bunch of Skittles. She was prepared for your arrival by the looks of it! Her wheelchair is next to her…

“About time.” Odetta eats what remains of her food. She didn’t want to share, how cruel.
“Where is Heidi and Madotsuki?”
“Bird lady took the little girl home, something about her mother being busy or whatever.” Odetta stands up and her legs start to wobble, but she pays no mind to it. “Let’s go!”

“Use the wheelchair.” You give her a stern look.
“I don’t need it.” Odetta and you have a staring duel, Odetta’s legs are starting to give up. “Fine… I’ll take your stupid wheelchair.”
“Good.” You help her sit and take her to the truck! “We don’t have time to waste.”
“Then why you making me sit on this thing?!” Odetta barks back. How unruly…

Somehow you managed to get everyone inside the truck. Bruce is driving, Catastrovania is in the copilot seat, you and the rest are sitting in the back. You’re right in the middle. You escape the hospital just in time as the police are starting to get into the place… Phew. Hopefully, they are going to arrest Vender and crew.

“Finally time to go back home…” Bruce sighs in relief.
“Fuck that, I want a big, fat, sleazy and disgusting slice of pizza. Who’s with me?!” Odetta wants to eat like a pig.

What do you do now that you’re out of danger?

Catastrovania wanted to agree, but decided to stay silent after looking at you for a second.

“We have food at home, Odetta.” You deny her request. “You haven’t eaten anything solid for a few months, let’s start you off with something a little better for your stomach, and then we can try for the worse foods.”
“Worse foods? You mean actual food?” Odetta frowns.

“Plus I want to go home before we get roped into another mess like giant rats attacking us at a pizza joint or more ghosts.”
“C’mon, you know I can deal with ghosts! And we have a Cat too!” Odetta points at Catastrovania, the one who looks away as she’s being mentioned.

“Besides, after the shit that just went down, it might behoove everyone to go home for a while and rest.”
“Y-Yeah, I need a nap…” Bruce yawns.

“Al is not that bad of a cook. He might surprise you.” Catastrovania relents and gives you support.
“Whatever, wake me up when dinner is ready…” Odetta almost magically falls asleep in a second! Or she could just be pretending because she’s mad about no pizza.
“G-Guess we better be quiet to wake them up, hahaha…” Bruce says in relief.

“Before we go quiet, I wanted to thank you both for your help today.” You give your respect to your pals.
“Hmph! Y-You’re welcome, assistant!” Catastrovania looks away.
“Yeah, you too.” Bruce is happy to be acknowledged.

It’s night now in the city and the stars are not visible thanks to the light pollution, only the city lights are there for you – how depressing.

And so the whole gang came back to your new apartment! You carry Maggie inside while Bruce took Odetta with the wheelchair, Catastrovania as always was only there for moral support. Inside the girls’ room, you lay down Maggie on her futon – somehow the comforting layout made Maggie wake up!

“AAAAH!” Maggie screams immediately upon waking up, then she looks around and finally at you. “Oh, it was all a dream.” Maggie smiles.
“No, it wasn’t. You got caught by Ven of all people.” You shake your head.
“Oh. Oooh. Awww…” Maggie feels bad about herself. “I’m sorry I got caught…”

How do you respond?

>“You need to pay more attention. I was right beside you too, I can’t work miracles if you don’t do better.”

>“Shit happens. Turn the page and do better next time. I still believe in you.”

“Nonsense. You did a good job today, Maggie. You really pulled your weight.”
“Hehehe.” Maggie looks all bubbly now. “Next time I promise I’ll do even better! Like awesomely better or somethin’!” Maggie pumps herself up. “And uhm… Do you have an aspirin or somethin’? My head hurts…”
“Come with me, let’s see if we have something for that…” You both leave the room…

After that, you cooked dinner, Maggie got something for her headache, Bruce pretended not to hear anyone’s conversation topics so he wouldn’t have to give his opinion, and Odetta tried to teach Catastrovania more psychic stuff! Then you all ate a pleasant dinner together, not a lovely one, but one that will do. Odetta was furious with her portion, but all she could do was to throw a tantrum. It was a nice moment all around.

Afterward, Bruce left with the truck and left you all alone with these despicable, dumb girls. It didn’t take long before you send everyone to sleep. Poor girls will have to share their little room together, you don’t actually feel for them – but you pretend to be affected for the sake of this narration. Tomorrow is finally going to be an uneventful day, right…?

[DAY 14/SATURDAY]

It’s early morning, you forgot to turn off your alarm. Once you put it to a stop, you noticed you have two missed calls. One from Berenice and one from Laetitia. Both give you a bad vibe for different reasons…

What do you do?

You check first if either of them left a message. Both actually have left a message and are from yesterday!

-First you check your old neighbor Berenice’s message:

It’s just a short message about her husband Boris and his crew and how relatively close they are to finding out what happened to the town’s bucket. They are going to confront the main suspect tomorrow morning! She can’t tell who it is, because Boris forgot to tell her before going to sleep.

You send them a good luck message and tell them you’re waiting for good news! How exciting.

-Next, you check the bar owner’s message:

Laetitia’s is more cryptic but to the point. She needs to talk to you as soon as possible because she has an urgent offer you can’t refuse. This can’t be good…

You ignore your instincts and decided to call Laetitia for some reason. She didn’t answer even after waiting for all the annoying dialing beeps to come through. As soon as you decide it’s time for morning exercises, you get a call from the bar owner!

“Hello?” You respectfully start the conversation.
“AAAlfred, I wasssss… thinking about youu…” Well that’s Laetitia and she sounds drunk. Hooray, you’re intervention the other day was for nothing. It wasn’t much of an intervention anyway. “You know my doooor is always open if you want… to fool around for a little bit, riiiight?”

“Ehm, is that the offer you were implying on your text?”
“Oh nooo, that ain’t it… but you have to say… that’s a pretty good offer as well, riiiiight? I kid, I kid…” Laetitia tries to come to her senses. “Sooorry, it’s that… I had a fight with my daughteeeer… and I didn’t handle it all that well… I couldn’t help myself…” You hear the drunken bar owner sniffing loudly. “That’s not what you wanted to heaaar… I have an offer for you, I’m opening a bar in Haamje… You’re in Haaamje, right…? Camilo said Hamje or Pokyo Lokyo? Isn’t that place in the dumps…? Whatever… If you’re there listen, if not hang up or somethin’… I’m opening a new The Flux on Hamje, my cousiiin is going to take care of it and she knows no shit about… about…”

“Bartending?”
“That’s riiight! Can you help ouuut…? I’ll pay you gooood. Besides, it’s all sponsored by that ugly fuck… whatever his name was… Ugolino…? I can’t even remember my own friends’ names… I’m terrible… *hic*… What do you think…? Hello...? Please answer me...”

Yeah, what do you think?

“Yeah, sure. Why not? Send me the address and take care of yourself please.” You accept this job opportunity.
“I’m tryin’… I’m seriously tryin’… But… *hic*” Laetitia stops talking. “There, that’s the address… Thank you, deaaarrrr…”
“Seriously take care.”
“…Kisses.” She hangs up.

Well, that was both more and less problematic than you originally thought. Now you should exercise with the others and help Odetta with her rehab! Good news is that from now on, you won’t have to worry about Aleister’s friends meddling in your business. You’ll only have to wait for Operation Stygian Counter Attack to begin…
