Ace was sitting on the cold floor, close to the fireplace. He kept rubbing the temples of his forehead as his eyes remained fixed at the fire. What if the saber had killed the man who brought Vanya here? This had happened last night. But, William had told him that Vanya arrived in the morning and that he reached here as soon as he could. Why was he lying about Vanya? What was he hiding?

Brent and Kathy were sitting on the couch, sipping tiny shots of something which Ace had no idea about.

‘You want a drink?’

Ace heard Justin’s voice from behind. He didn't even care to turn and look at him right now. Justin had always been the one who could sense discomfort and attempted to calm the source of that discomfort. Right now, it was Ace.

‘Not now, man.’ He mumbled. ‘My head hurts.’

Justin sighed and pulled the wooden chair next to the study table closer to Ace. He sat on the chair and remained quiet for some time.

‘I want to put your mind at ease, but I don’t know how to, man.’

Ace turned to look at him and saw a bottle of Evil Rose in his hands. ‘It’s nothing.’ he smiled at him.

‘Alright.’ Justin got up looking disappointed.

Ace felt bad. He felt like he was abandoning him. ‘Justin?’

‘What?’ Justin was about to head towards the couch, but he sat back on the chair looking slightly concerned.

‘I have a job for you.’ Ace gave him a very serious look.

‘Sure man, say it.’ Justin kept aside the bottle of Evil Rose he was holding in his hands.

Dawn was sitting on the other side of the fireplace. Ace had told him everything about his conversation with Vanya already and he was trying to absorb the fact that the new girl was cursed for real. He was sipping from a glass full of Evil Rose to drown his tension.

‘You are very interested in herbs and medicines, right?’ Ace asked Justin. ‘You know about the region that is full of those magical and powerful herbs?’

‘Yes, I’m hoping to become the Healer for team fifty-five.’ Justin nodded at him.

‘Do you know any medicine or exercise or meditation… or anything, that might-’

‘Ace!’ Dawn glared at him. ‘Not yet. William is about to show up at any moment for the enrollment. At least, let him leave and then we can tell everyone.’

‘I know it already.’ Justin had opened up the bottle he had kept aside a few moments ago and was now gulping it down. ‘It’s Vanya, isn’t it?’

Ace glanced back at the bed where Vanya was lying, resting her head on Victoria’s lap. She had lied about missing her family to everyone when they asked why she had been crying.

‘Did she tell you?’ Dawn asked Justin.

‘Nope!’ Justin shook his head. ‘I can sense it, man. I know something is wrong with her and when you said that she was cursed, even though it was only to misguide William, I knew that was the truth. But, nobody takes me seriously so… I chose to remain silent.
