" Yes, I couldn't remember anything from the past and so I refused her so that why she wanted to killed any persons even to my close friends. I don't know what should I do next. What if she began to killed someone at the hotel? I was so very desperate. "

" Come on, we must get back to the hotel to tell to Tom, Jerry and the others about this. "
