"All death is necessary for life to carry on. Without death, why would anyone struggle to live their life to the fullest?"

It's been two days since Hund went missing.

Just before the other day, he was dutifully keeping an eye on Alva as I asked him to. Then, he vanished into thin air the following day. 

I have tried to recall the last time we met, anything that might serve as a clue to his sudden disappearance. But there was nothing. I felt as if I was grasping at straws.

However, I did know that Adelredus is somehow connected to his sudden appearance. My conversation with him two days ago was the only clue I had.

"Shall we play a game?"

"... A game?" I looked at the maniacal grin on his lips, and I knew I was in deep trouble.

"You used to love playing hide and seek as a child with... you-know-who." 

I flinched. Why is he bringing up that person now?
