- Seifer's Soul -
She could sense something big approaching like a tidal wave, but invisible. It was chasing Seifer, looking for him frantically through the mansion. A black shadow engulfing everything in darkness.
"Renee, get back inside!" yelled Johnny and he dashed forward to shut the door before BOOM, something heavy hurled against it --- but the door held!

Meanwhile, James didn't hear anything, only nodded when Renee and Johnny left. He didn't know what to do with Lydia, so he just pulled her to a chair and let her sit there. He thought in silence . . . She became this way because she heard the music from the phonograph. He, Renee, and Johnny heard it too, but they didn't become strange like her.
Lydia said that there were things watching them when she looked at the windows. "Hmmm." He stood up and drew the curtains around all the windows. It became dark inside, but he lit candles.
"Renee, Johnny . . . " he went outside, but paused when he saw them just frozen in place looking at the end of an empty hallway, their eyes glassed over just like Lydia. He quickly looked around, drawing out his wand. He didn't know how it appeared there, but he had it in his hand. Familiarity of danger putting it there.
He quickly dragged the two inside, then closed all the curtains over the windows, before he shut the door sealing them inside.

Meanwhile, at Lydia's home, her eldest brother came striding into the hallway with his wife greeting their mother and father and talking about business and all that was happening with the deals and the company.
He spotted his sister and greeted her in his usual manner.
"And how are you coming along with your studies?"
