Buddy saw him fall.
The orange-feathered Pekko's eyes widened in alarm.
Then—
"CUQUAWKED!!!"
A desperate, loud squawk tore through the air, filled with panic.
Buddy flapped his wings violently, running in circles before suddenly bolting toward the manor.
In the courtyard, a maid was sweeping, humming softly to herself.
Then—
She yelped as something pecked her leg—hard.
Startled, she turned to see Buddy squawking loudly and pecking her again.
"O-Ow! What's wrong with this bird!?"
Buddy flapped his wings wildly, hopping frantically in place.
"CUQUAWKED! CUQUAWKED!!!"
The maid stared in confusion, heart racing.
Then—she realized.
Something was wrong.
She dropped her broom and sprinted toward the manor.
"S-Someone call Madam Francesca!! Something's wrong with Young Master Javier!!"
Buddy let out another desperate squawk, his alarm echoing through the estate.
