[ The night of the regression ]

Fabian froze, watching Florence collapse to her side. She reached out her hand to him as if asking for help while the life in her eyes dimmed. However, just as he thought she would land on the floor, Florence's foot glided, stopping her body from falling. Her head was still hanging low, just like how her hands and body swayed listlessly.

His eyes glinted menacingly, sensing the evil aura emanating from her back. He gripped his dark spear tightly, jaw tightening.

"So, that is how it happened…" he whispered, breathing out calmly. "Poor Silvia."

He watched Florence raise her head, only to see a wicked smirk that didn't suit her face. He didn't meet Florence until tonight, but he heard a lot about her. The second he laid his eyes on her in that garden, Fabian was certain what he heard about her was correct.
