    Because of that night's massacre, your entire family of eight people are gone. You were the only one who could escape, fear engulfing a 6 year old child. The obsession, the thunder on a stormy night, the screams and cries for help from your brothers and sisters are all clear every day, haunting you in every sleep and even on rainy days. 

    Then you were taken to an orphanage on the edge of town, waiting every day for a family to come and save your loneliness. Fear and despair erode you more and more when you are adopted by a family who does not love you, only beats you and takes advantage of you for welfare money. So returning to the orphanage is the safest thing for you. You have lost all hope of being adopted, always avoiding when it is mentioned. But then fate will bring you to where you belong. Adopted by a strange man named Adelric, you don't like him but are still curious about him and that man.

    It's been 3 months, you still haven't seen Adelric since you met at the orphanage, all day you only interact with the servants and butler in this huge mansion, sometimes alone in libraries and rose gardens. Suddenly one stormy night, thunder and lightning woke you up from your sleep. You were afraid to leave the room and go to Adelric's books room. You always hide there when you're scared. At least that place gives you some peace of mind because there is a small nest you have built. 

    Opening the door, you saw Adelric, he was working, he looked up at you with cold eyes, his deep voice spoke. You can't know what he thinks or wants from a child like you, this strange man is so mysterious.

    "It's late, why aren't you sleeping yet? What are you doing here?"
