“That’s not it.”
“Explain this, whose card is this?” She asked, showing him Kira’s card.
“My father wants to set me on a blind date with her, but I refused.”
“What? A blind date?”
“It’s nothing to worry about, I already declined. And the truth is, he gave me that card to meet my date at the resort, I apologize for lying.”
“It’s fine, at least you didn’t go on the date.” She said, and a smile curved on his lips.

Asher, Piper, and Lucas sat in the living discussing how to help Lucas. Finally, they cane to a conclusion to confirm Piper’s biography that they can only uncover where they are, before gong to the city to help Lucas.
“How long have you been on this? Like, I mean the mission?”
“Less than a week.” Piper replied.
“And what have you gotten so far ?” Lucas asked.
“How is that your business?” Asher shouted.
“We discovered that my family might be poor, which might be the reason why I’m on a nighte-like dress.” Piper said with a scoff, and Asher glared at her.
“I don’t quite get.”
“Do we really have to explain that to you?” Asher asked, with a glare.
“It’s fine, we don’t have much time, since you haven’t discover anything significant yet, we have to put in all our best to find out sooner so you can travel to the city.” Lucas said.
“Don’t boss me around, I haven’t been playing either.” Asher said, a bit harsh.
“Did you try to ask around?” Lucas said.
“Yes, but it was abortive.” Piper replied, with head bowed.
“Who did you ask?” Lucas asked.
“The villagers of course.” Asher blurted.
“You can never get a helpful response from them because they all believed the haunted house story, I heard it myself two weeks ago.” Lucas said.
“So who do you suggest we ask ?” Piper asked.
“I know a granny, everyone calls her Gigi, she normally gather children together and tell them stories, I heard she is the oldest residence in this village.”
“Really?” Piper said.
