Zack

Taking a deep breath, Zack opened the envelope.

As he took out the letter, he carefully scanned what was written in it.

"These bastards!" he muttered as he crushed the piece of paper in frustration.

It seemed that he was invited.

To see his family again.

Walking slowly, he tried to force his wildly beating heart to calm down.

"No matter how many times I pass by here, it is still disturbing," he spoke in frustration.

To reach their family house, he first had to walk past the large garden they had.

There were about a dozen servants currently out, diligently doing their duties of maintaining the garden.

But as Zack passed, he felt multiple gazes fixed upon him.

Were these gazes filled with happiness? Or were they filled with anger and disappointment?

Zack didn't know and honestly could care less.

Finally reaching the large gates of the mansion, he steeled his resolve and knocked.
