"There's an ancient ritual what hardly anyone knows of anymore. It's written in a book in Alexis's study. If you can get him and the book safely to the safe room behind the study. You will be able to perform it with no problems."

Alexis. Just wait for me. I'm coming.
I hadn't realized that all the times he was away or did something nice to me.
I had fallen for him.
I love you, Alexis...
