= Later of the day.... =

Cain is walking along the Lodon street, he is wearing his black suit and hat <kind of mystery?!>

Cain figrueing out something:
What happened at the 'House of Butterflies' . . . Told me that I would not be able to go up against my dad...I could not save Emil long the silent streets. Could I not escape from the curse of my father for the rest of my life...!?

A kid yelling to his friends as he passes Cain: "Quick! A gypsy is singing by herself over there!"

A beautiful, long black hair gypsy sits before a fountain with a guitar in hands, singing. Her guitar sounds attract people gather around and so as Cain.

Cain took off his hat as he stared at this sight:
Pure black hair, light brown skin, foreign words.... They are a wandering race that is not tied by anything, living together with the earth and the sky, loving their freedom-----And yet, also because of that they are threatened by others and are being jealous of

Suddenly, three men surround the gypsy girl, who is now on her feet as she was being dragged by two of the men.

A man: " Hey!! Can't you sing a bit further away? These people are always our customers!"

The gypsy girl against the man bravely: "Isn't it the customers own business to choose to watch who's performance? You should go practice so that your customers will not be able to be taken away by things such as a gypsy song next time"

A clown tried to catch the gypsy girl. That clown is used to perform in that place. but now, the place is occupied by that gypsy that drove him angry.

Clown: " What ... What did you say !?"

Another man: "Ah, she escaped!! Get Her!"

The three clowns caught hold of the gypsy girl: "This gypsy brat!!"

The man tore the gypsy girl's clothes apart: " Aperson like you suits to be an exotic dancer!! Look!!"

Cain rushes towards the crowd in order to save that gypsy woman: ""Stop it...!!"

Thud!
A wig fell onto the ground.
It was the gypsy woman's long dark hair.

The man (in shocked): " Wah!! What the...!?"

The gypsy girl's beautiful, long hair in fact is a wig. Her real hair colour is not the colour that gypsy's hair should be. The gypsy sat on the ground with her clothes badly torn apart at the front, yet her face did not show any fear.

Cain thinks:
She has burnt scars covering half of her body...!! She has flaxen (pale yellow) hair...!!?

The three men decided to leave as they were all shocked by the sight.

Clown: "L-let's go, she's killed our mood ...!"
Another man: "Yeah..."
The third man: " Yes...! We also...just remembered we have to do something."

Cain:
This girl having a different hair colour amongst gypsies that are meant to have black hair and black eyes.... how did this girl lived her life ?

Cain kneeled down next to the girl and placed his own jacket around her bare shoulders.

Cain: "Though I didn't understand the words, it was a sad, powerful and beautiful song...", put on his hat and begins to walk away, "Bye."

Gypsy woman: "Gassho.deero...."

Cain: "huh?"

Gypsy girl: "In our language, this song means 'outsider'. From before, the people from various countries called us 'outsiders'. But I could feel from you that there is a different meaning and that you are a different kind. It seems that you make yourself an 'outsider'..."

Cain was shocked by the girl's words:
She's saying that I reject other people myself----?

The girl placed back the black wig onto her head and handed the jacket back to Cain: "Take it back. I am not your friend."

Cain: "Hey... hey!! You can't go around with those clothes...!"

The Moon shines brighlty . . .

The girl is already walking up the steps leaving the square, turns around: "It doesn't matter, because the moon is my friend, because the moon will love these scars and this dirtied body and my everything, accepting me and shining kindly for me."

Cain watched her leave with wonder:
MOON ...? The Moon card...oh that's right I know what's weird about the card now! It was the number (VII) on the card!! That number is wrong. The number for The Moon whould be XVIII...!! But on that card it's VII!! 'Henry VII !? That's what Uncle said before...that's right!! The picture of Jesus and Mary wearing the red saint clothes...it's a copy of the painting in 'Henry VII's chapel' at the burial ground of Henry VII !!

Cain then began running hurriedly with his jacket in his hand, not bothering to put it back on:
That's right!! That ring on the hand that got sent to us...that is my grandfather's ring that appeared in my dream!! That ring should have been on my father's hand and disappeared with my father...! If that is a provocation from my father, that means father is planning to call Uncle out...!? If the VII means seven o'clock tonight...a place that will have that picture of Jesus and Mary...! It's West Minister Chapel!!! It's dangerous!! Uncle Neel!

= At West Minister Chaple =

A man is waiting Uncle Neel . . .

Uncle Neel: " You are really still living, Alexial."

Alexial is in his long coat, standing haughtly at the centre of the chapel hall.

Uncle Neel: " Don't play with me, sending stupid codes to call me out to see you."

Alexial: "It's an emotional reunion...seems like you won't have it that way Neel. "

Uncle Neel: "That's because it's only when people die that you will meet them. Your father Earl Hargreeves...,your wife Lenora...and your sister Augusta...! Am I the next one? Alexial!"

Alexial listens and keeps silent. It seems that he can't hide his evil scheme before his brother . . . He eyes on Uncel Neel and calculating ....
