Chapter 8

There weren't many things in the storage room, and it was very tidy.

On the shelf nearest the door was a row of medicines. I couldn't tell which was which, so I just cradled them all in my arms.

As I was about to leave, I noticed a faint red glow coming from the opposite shelf.

Curious, I took a closer look and saw it was a box of face masks.

"Transformation Mask."

Could this be the product Sophia had used?

The mask Aunt Lucy had mentioned?

I wanted to take a closer look, but the police asked if I had found the medication.

I hastily put it aside and rushed downstairs with the medicines.

They were just ordinary antidepressants, nothing suspicious.

The police asked Aunt Lucy to go to the station to give a statement.

They told me to take Noah for a walk outside, fearing he might be scared.

But Noah refused to leave, insisting on staying at home.

I was scared too. One of the officers, probably seeing that I was quite young, volunteered to stay with us.

I reluctantly agreed to stay.
