General POV- with John

Day 3; 08:35 a.m.

John Brown was an Australian priest, aged 19. He was considered a prodigy to have the credential and permit to preach and do exorcisms at a young age. He had cerulean blue pair of eyes and blonde hair which suited him fairly well.

Now, the said priest was walking to the 2nd ward and searched for a certain room. If I remember exactly, it was room 1507, he thought. Indeed, it was. On the side of the door, the name labeled were 谷山 [Taniyama], 滝川 [Takigawa], 松崎 [Matsuzaki] and 原 [Hara]

He heard voices that belonged to one person. The conversation appeared to be one-sided. He doubted that the four patients were able to talk animatedly after the incident though he can sense some worry in the person's voice. Maybe a visitor, but who? He pondered.

Deciding it was better to see the person in question, he slid open the door and peered from the doorway. Again, he was visibly astonished as indicated by a slight widening of his eyes and the fact that he closed his mouth after opening it without saying anything.

But he tried again and managed to choke out," Mori-san?"

General POV- in room 1507

The strawberry blonde woman was greeting the newly awakened patient named Taniyama Mai. A look of relief washed over the woman. She appeared to be pleased by the fact that the young teen was already awake. The said teen was already over her initial shock and was now listening to the woman's monologue. The door slid open once again, gaining their attention. At the doorway, stood John Brown who seemed to be flabbergasted upon the sight.

"Mori-san?" It came out as a question.

It turned out that the woman was Mori Madoka, another member of the SPR team. Unlike all the regulars, she rarely went on cases and when she did, she never spent the night at the site of the case. She worked in the team as a researcher and efficiently dug out any information required to solve the case. So to speak, she was more experienced compared to the high school student, Osamu Yasuhara. Madoka was one of the cheery, energetic type of a person and was the teacher of the narcissistic Shibuya Kazuya, known as Naru.

"John-san! How have you been? Come on in," Madoka welcomed him warmly.

John, barely registering the situation, found himself unconsciously walked into the room while still in shock and took a seat. He must have not expected to meet the senior researcher, let alone in the hospital room.

"John-san?"Madoka said as she waved her hands in front of his face.

For a few seconds, nothing happened. Then, he blinked. Twice.

"Eeh?! I'm sorry, Mori-san. I was just surprised to see you in here," John apologized.

"No need formalities! Besides, I'm just the one popping randomly into the scene," Madoka replied as she shrugged her shoulders.

Suddenly, there was a tap to John's shoulder. He nearly jumped out of his seat when he realized who tapped him.

"Taniyama-san!" You are awake," he said, simply.

From the look of Mai's eyes, it was obvious what she had thought.

"S-sorry about that, Mai-chan. I forgot about you," Madoka stuttered slightly as she sensed Mai boring a hole at the back of her head.

Mai crossed her arms albeit with difficulties due to the IV and pouted. She looked very much like a child left behind during Trick or Treat.

General POV- at Katsuri mansion

Day 3; 08:46a.m.

Nothing happened. As usual, Naru was assessing his notes in the black file which he often bring along during the cases. His dark lapis lazuli pair of eyes ran down the piece of paper. It was not obvious and undetectable- if you don't know him personally- that he was getting bored of the lack of activity. Lin had given him more details about the manor but it was not enough to solve the case.

The mansion was built in Showa era around the year 1980. Since the World War II was long over, the noble family of Sakurabame decided to build a manor to commemorate the soldiers who died in the US air raid. The site of the manor was exactly where one of the main barracks of the Japanese soldier had been bombed to dust.

The head of the family was named Sakurabame Kiyoshi. He was the General Commander of the dispatch soldiers who died during the raid. He retired soon after the war ended. He devoted himself to take care of his family and donated most of his wealth to compensate the family whose father or son involved in the war. The rest of his wealth was inherited by his two sons, Takeda and Washima. He died of nature cause, lung cancer.

Meanwhile, Lin was typing away on his keyboard. He was not really interested to find out more about the manor. Instead, he was more inclined to receive a call from a certain someone. Also, he had not tell the narcissist about the colleague he had called very late last night.

"Lin, did you dial Brown-san last night?"

"Yes, he passed me on to the doctor and I explained the doctor about their injuries by this script," Lin replied as he handed Naru the paper.

Naru read it as fast as lightning and he had an intrigued look in his eyes.

"Well, it was very logic to follow on this one. The room was near a staircase to the third floor and the structure of the room appeared to be quite old and not sturdy," Naru commented.

"If I may add something?"

Naru gave a green light signal since he cocked his head to the side, as if telling Lin to go on.

"I pointed out that we have our own psychiatrist to consult with Taniyama-san regarding her so-called suicidal behavior when the doctor named Nashita offered to help."

"Who might that be?" Naru's voice leaked a bit of dread.

"Madoka,"Lin answered simply.

There was a slight pause before Naru asked,"Where is she now?"

"Since she was visiting her parents at her hometown, Inabe, she must have arrived here in Nagoya. Though I'm not so sure since she has not call me back yet," Lin replied as he turned to face the clad in black.

A shrill of ringtone of Lin's phone disrupted the silence. Lin excused himself to answer the call.

Naru was disheveled not in appearance but in mind. He knew the researcher too well that she almost frightened him. She was such a worrywart about the others and selfless but on the other hand, she was a devil in matchmaking. She never stops until her victims succumbed to her plan. Despite all that, Naru respected her as his mentor and she got a knack of researching in detailed within a short time frame. She was slightly workaholic.

But, she is still a woman after all. She loved to go shopping for new clothes and one might wonder just how did she fit all the clothings she bought into her wardrobe. She had a secret she shared with a few selective people and the mentioned individuals were some of the members in SPR team.

Lin POV

"Madoka?"

"Lin! Yes, it's me. I'm at the hospital and Mai is awake already," Madoka replied.

"Oh, she's awake? That's good to know. I was tired dealing with the grumpy teen. So, have you met with the Nashita guy?" I said in relieve but towards the end, my tone changed.

"Did I just sense jealousy in your voice? You sound so smexy, Lin," I heard her squeal. Typical.

"So, did you?"

"Nope, haven't seen the guy. Maybe he will tend to the group's wound and check on them later. I dunno. John's here by the way," she said nonchalantly.

"Okay then. You have it?"

"The name card, right? Yes."

"Good, Madoka. I'll see you later?"

"See ya," she said before hanging up.

I looked at the phone, my brain slowly progressing what she had just done. She hung up on me! Daring aren't you, Madoka.
