Chapter 3: The Other Side of the Door

After reading their letter, the party was determined to find their parents. With one another, they searched the entire house, but no one saw anything. The only lead that they had was the door, so they decided to search that again.

The party looked around and saw a woman crying. She was a very sad-looking woman.
