"You are not in the position to reprimand me regarding my choice of wardrobe, Hara-san." Naru said with a hint of poison rolling in his tongue. He had his reasons for his subtle rage. Firstly, because he knew that she knew his personal reason for wearing black and heck! She even blackmailed him for it! Secondly, because he himself did not want to go to a funeral let alone… Mai's. He had enough funerals for one year, Gene's was enough.
Masako, satisfied that she visibly stirred the narcissist's emotions decided to make one last blow before she finally backs down.
"That I am, Dr. Oliver Davis." Naru flinched with the mention of his name. He was about to make a comeback when Lin decided to stop the exchange before it escalates to something much worse.
"Enough with the domestic dispute. The van is ready Naru, save your energy for your psychometry reading later." With that, Naru proceeded to the van together with Lin and Madoka, landing one last glare to the offending medium at sight.
Since this time, Masako will be coming as well, Ayako suggested that she rides with her and Bou-san so she could fill in details they missed to mention from the phone conversations they made. But in truth, Ayako thought that it was the best way to separate the two, since putting Masako and Naru in the same place at this time will do nothing good.
…
The ride to Mai's apartment was a smooth one. Naru slept the entire trip to save and focus his spiritual energy. You might be wondering what his sleeping figure was like, but right now, Naru's sleeping form is not something you'd dreamily sigh at in sight. Lin noted this as he looked at Naru giving the sleeping boy a bit of is attention while driving. Even though he's asleep, his problems lie awake and these problems show on his creased forehead.
Naru had been like that for the past few days—thinking, and thinking.. and thinking—especially after the phone call Madoka made while they we're still in England. The entire time he was thinking of logical—qualified and reasonable—explanations for the blood splattered grotesquely on Mai's apartment without involving a certain trouble magnet's death. Hah! And he calls himself a genius. Maybe Gene is right, he thought. Maybe he really is an idiot scientist.
Having these thoughts, Naru squirmed in his sleep. Lin thought that Naru felt him staring even in sleep, people do have those tendencies after all—and above that, he is a psychic. So, with this, Lin returned his full attention to the road.
Madoka on the other hand was making calls. She was taking as much precautions as she could and was tying all connections as early as now. After all, their group could be involved in a murder case—but that's the worst case scenario. And no matter how happy Luella is about the fact that her son is finally opening up, knowing that Noll is putting himself in grave danger, is a reason to forcibly take his son back to England—if she didn't have the chance to this with Gene, it's a great one to do with Noll.
On the other hand, in Bou-san's car, Ayako talked with Masako. Filling her with details she forgot to mention during the frantic phone conversations they had the day they discovered the mess in Mai's apartment. Through the time that Naru was gone, Masako gave up on him and supported Mai. She did this after reconsidering the dark princes' attitude, two negatives only form a positive in math—a yin-yang was a better choice. They became best friends, yet Ayako said nothing. She knew it was coming—she was, after all, the one who suggested it would happen someday. When it hit them, they remembered what Ayako said in the blood stained labyrinth.
Masako simply nods as Ayako speaks. Masako is a medium. All the time, she was thinking that if something bad really did happen to Mai, she would envision it, especially if it concerns her best friend's death. And so far, she hasn't. That is what she reasoned to Ayako, giving her hope that Mai is still alive.
When they arrived, you could feel the subtle tension that enveloped the group. Everyone—though not vocally expressed—was afraid of the scene to behold. Yes, they had seen the pictures but it's an entirely different thing to look at that scene in real life. This time they'll feel the heavy atmosphere, they'll smell the drying blood. They knew for a fact that the scene that lies beyond the door they will open may trigger their emotion and imagination. Everyone had the same silly though running through their head as they flight through the stairs finally leading to Mai's door—brace yourselves for impact.
"Naru, can you still use psychometry while wearing gloves?" Ayako asked, effectively breaking through the grim silence while she was rummaging her back for surgical gloves.
"We can't leave finger prints." Ayako continued before Naru could even raise his brows.
"I can still function while wearing those." Naru replied as he reached out to get the said item. And the whole team did the same.
Bou-san was the one who volunteered to open the door since he, of all, knew what was coming. He repeatedly reminded everyone not to move anything as much as possible. Naru sighed. And thus he finally opens the door.
All of them stiffened at the offending odor that greeted them. Ayako, despite not saying anything clearly know that its smell is much worse than what she smelt earlier, now the bloody smell turned to the perfect mixture of rotting flesh and—death.
Naru was the first one to regain his composure—even though it wasn't even noticeable that he was greatly shaken by the smell. It was the same as when I found Gene—he thought. He visibly glared at the offending smell. One by one they entered the room. Masako, at first did not want to go, but since she may find a clue to Mai's location, she took the second option. Slowly, they examined the room in their own accord.
Unbeknownst to them, Naru's vision started as soon as he picked up the shard of glass from frame that held the picture of Mai's current family—SPR. The photo, Naru thought, was a peculiar one… Mai wasn't in it but it feels like she was there—because everyone besides him, was smiling, even Lin. His vision began to blur as the hideous scene in front of him takes a new form—an empty living room, clean of any mess and organized as to Mai's liking.
Lin stared at the Naru who was standing still, too still in fact. Everyone turned to him as he said:
"It's starting."
