Two hours later, Yamazaki Daisuke was busy figuring out how to access the Silver Disk with the help of Dmtri Williams and his other engineers when suddenly, the phone rang.

"Sir, it is for you…" the secretary said, handing the phone to Dmitri.

"Who is this?" Dmitri said, receiving the call.

.

Sir! S-Something… something terrible happened!

.

And as Dmitri heard the news, his eyes widened in shock.

He immediately stormed out of the room and headed towards the room where he kept Crosse captive. To his shock, his men guarding the hallway were all sprawled on the floor, lifeless. He looked up to the ceiling, only to find out that all his security cameras were blasted by bullets.

Dmitri immediately pushed the door leading to Crosse's cell open. As he entered, he saw nothing but the swinging, flickering bulb suspended on the ceiling…

.

… and an empty chair beneath it.

.

And since then, not even Crosse's shadow was seen ever again. He mysteriously vanished. No one knew where he went, and no one knew how he was able to escape.

.

But Crosse was not the only one who disappeared.

.

Everyone thought that she died.

Everyone thought that the flames have consumed her whole.

.

Little did they know…

.

.

.

… that she would start a bigger fire…

.

.

.

.

.

… eight years later.
