THE SHADOWS of the old buildings in Castillo High began to stretch onto the campus grounds as the sun set slowly under the horizon's line. Iilan nalang ang mga estudyanteng nasa fields habang naglalakad pabalik sa kanilang dormitory buildings ang anim na Campus Sleuths, visibly worried after their bump in with the student council president himself.

"Ann, what are we going to do?" Sera whispered worriedly to the Lobris girl who was walking briskly, hugging her folder and organizers.

Sa likod ng lima ay makikita si Rein na naglalakad — merely a few steps behind them. His hands were in his pockets as he quietly observed the group, eyes focusing mostly on the rigid way that Ann squared her shoulders as she walked, as if she was on the brink of thin ice.
