The man suddenly raised a syringe. "This is a drug we’ve just invented. We need someone to test it out on. How does being our lab rat sound?"
At that, the man walked toward Rose and injected the syringe into her arm before she knew it.
Then, the man took a skull necklace out of his breast pocket and waved it in front of Rose.
"I've got to hypnotize you as well. I need to implant new memories into you..." the man spoke sinisterly.
Rose’s gaze landed on the skull necklace. It belonged t o Jaybie.
Why did this man have the same necklace?
"Who are you?"
“Curiosity kills the cat, Miss."
The drug began to take effect not too long after... Rose felt her consciousness begin to slip.
With a thud, Rose fell onto the floor.
"Well, that was fast. What weak willpower.” The man kept the necklace.
"This means that the effectiveness of our new drug has been greatly enhanced." "Bring her away. Watch her after she wakes for
abnormalities and send her out if all is good."
"Yes, Sir."
At the same time, the conversation with the guest had finally wrapped up. Walking downstairs, Jay realized that Rose was gone.
Unexpected panic rose in his chest. Pressing a hand over his heart, Jay waited for the stabs of pain to subside before his long legs began to run.
"Rosse Loyle... Where are you?"
He scoured the entirety of Fragrant Vessel Court's garden, but it was to no avail.
Staring at the pouring rain under the dark sky, Jay forced himself to calm down.
'Perhaps she took a stroll because she was bored?
