Damien (Cain's friend)
Don't be so cold
Damien (Cain's friend)
I'm just worried about you
Cain
I'm not sick. Just go away
Damien (Cain's friend)
Ouch, how can you say that to me...
Cain
If you don't have anything left to say, then go
Damien (Cain's friend)

Cain
*suddenly hit the table* WHAT??
Cain
Where did you find her?!
Damien (Cain's friend)
Wow wow relax
Damien (Cain's friend)
*give Cain some files and photos*
Damien (Cain's friend)
My man took this photo of her at the garden behind Roswell's family mansion
Damien (Cain's friend)
No wonder searching her is so hard
Damien (Cain's friend)
She came from those closed family after all
Damien (Cain's friend)
Her family is too good at removing all traces
Damien (Cain's friend)

Damien (Cain's friend)
You have fallen head over heels huh...
Cain
Now give me the exact address
Damien (Cain's friend)
Wait, you are not going to see her now right?
Damien (Cain's friend)
You must be kidding me...
Cain walked fast to his car after he got the address from Damien
He drived fast and stopped not too far from Roswell's mansion
Cain
Finally, I got to see you again
Cain secretly sneak into the garden. There are too many guards, but Cain managed to get in safely.
Cain
It is not normal to put too many guards like this...
Faintly, Cain heard a girl voice and laughter
Cain walked closer and peeked from his place
Melody

Edna (Maid)
Please wait for me, Princess...
Melody
*Running away while laughing happily*
Somehow her laughter warmed his heart
Edna (Maid)

Melody
It's okay! I'll be fine!
Melody suddenly stumbled and fell down
Cain almost ran to help Melody, but he held back
Cain
It's not the time yet... *clenched his hand*
Melody's maid came and helped Melody to stand
Edna (Maid)
Are you okay, Princess?
Melody
It's okay, just a small wound
Edna (Maid)
Oh no... we must treat it now
Edna (Maid)
Princess, let's go back
Melody
*sigh* Okay, let's go

Melody
(No ones there... maybe just my imagination)
Edna (Maid)
Is there something matter, princess?
