"Jacob?" Alastair questioned.

"Jacob was my butler," The girl began.

"We were quite close, you see..." She continued, looking down steadily.

"He was sort of like a big brother to me." She said, smiling sadly.

"One day, he made a vow to protect me no matter what,"

"That is until..."

Alastair impatiently looked down at his watch.

"Tragedy befell us..." The girl whispered.

"And that tragedy was...?" Alastair asked, followed by a yawn.

"He was struck by lightning..." The girl sniffled, trying to hold back tears.

"Eh?" Alastair was suddenly dumbfounded.

"That's terrible!" Rachael cried out.

"Alright, enough with these foolish antics," Alastair huffed.

"If we're not going to take this seriously, I'll be on my way-"

Rachael quickly grabbed him by the sleeve of his shirt.

"Hah, what's gotten into you, Rachael...?" Alastair grumbled.

"Look!" Rachael cried, pointing towards the window.

"Hm?" Alastair looked down.

As he looked out, he noticed lightning.

"You feel that too, yes?
