Moving to New York

Since Caspar and Lauriel were good friends, Caspar of course could not bear to refuse Lauriel's last request. Moreover, he also hoped that over the next few months, Lauriel would change his mind and decide not to take Death.

Lauriel stayed with the Schneider family in their mansion in Palo Alto for a week before they finally left for New York. There, Caspar had a mansion and a townhouse next to the mansion, which he bought because his old neighbors were very noisy. He also had a penthouse in St. Laurent Hotel New York, which was rarely occupied.

In order not to disturb each other's privacy, Lauriel was welcomed to stay in the penthouse while Caspar and his family reside in their mansion. Finland and Caspar would soon start working at the Schneider Group regional head office on Fifth Avenue and, while her parents were working, Lauriel would take Aleksis and look after her.
