Remy came to talk about the Dark Hoods, but while they were talking, Henry appeared and tried to kill Fiona. Remy protected her, and Jade restrained Henry. Now they are holding him, but they do not know that the Crow is already there.

Corbeau: "My name is Jeff Petron, but people call me Corbeau, the Crow. I worked for the military of Roselande. While the rich ate and drank, we fought. I watched my comrades die."

Corbeau: "My sister worked as a doctor, but one day, while she was treating one of my comrades, soldiers from the Slavic Empire appeared and killed my sister."
Click
Corbeau: "I lost my comrades, my sister. While the nobles sat comfortably, we had to fight for our lives. The war never touched the nobles. That is why I hate wars. While the poor and the middle class fight, the nobles sit with their elites, flirting, drinking, and complaining about wine stains on their clothes, while we complain about blood on our hands and clothes. In the Slavic Empire, I realized that their soldiers also had no choice, and that the true enemies live in our own country: the nobles. After the war, one hundred fifty thousand people died. Women became widows, children lost their parents, and soldiers who could not live with the blood on their hands took their own lives."

Corbeau: "I tried as well."
Memory
Bang
End of memory
Corbeau: "But I survived, despite the gunshot wound. The day I finally understood that the nobles are simply people who love to look down on others was during the celebration at the end of the war."
Memory
Corbeau: "Hmm?"
Noble: "Hahahaha, the war is over."
Nobles: "Oh dear, those poor peasants. Hahaha. Wars are good, after all. At least there are fewer of those peasants now."
Corbeau: "Ugh."
Noble: "Hehehe. Exactly. The rich sit and mourn? I do not care about this celebration. Why should I mourn peasants? They fought for the land, but they are still peasants."
Corbeau: "Ugh."
Footsteps
Noble: "Hmm."
Bang
He shot the noble in the face, shattering the jaw.
Noble: "Argh."
He grabbed her throat and tore it out.

Corbeau: "Hah… hah… fools."

Corbeau: "I lost control. Then I met him, Robin Hood. But he was too kind. He did not want to kill, only to steal from the rich. But I wanted more."
Splash
Corbeau: "I wanted to see their blood on my hands and see their children cry, just like the children of peasants cried for their parents. Maids and butlers mean nothing to me. At first, I only wanted to destroy the nobles, but then I saw how the peasants stayed silent and allowed everything to happen. Their silence makes them responsible as well."

Corbeau: "Is that not right, Remy?"
He looked at the building.
Corbeau: "Hehehe."
Meanwhile
Remy: "Alright, Henry. You can start now. What exactly does Corbeau want? Why did he kill Damon Giroud?"
Henry: "You know exactly why. He was a noble."
Remy: "But doing it like this. Why did the Dark Hoods start hurting innocents?"
Henry: "Innocent? You mean those who work for nobles? Those who help them become richer?"
Remy: "Stop talking like that. Your goal is nothing but blind revenge. Corbeau never cared about people. He was a war veteran. I remember that."
Henry: "He took care of you."
Remy: "He murdered an innocent girl in front of me just because she was the daughter of a noble."
Henry: "So what? A noble is a noble. Revenge knows no age."
Remy: "Hmm."
Fiona: "I see. So that is how you think. Tell me, are you not just like the nobles?"
Jade: "Exactly. How can you still claim to be the good ones? Robin Hood would never have done this."
Henry: "Hmm."
Remy: "Last question, Henry. Did you kill Robin Hood and his family?"
Henry: "If I answer, I die."
Jade: "And if you do not answer, I kill you. Long story short, you die either way."
Fiona: "Hmm."
She slowly walked toward Henry.
Fiona: "Does he have no family?"
Remy: "Hmm?"
Henry: "A little sister."
Fiona: "Maybe he worries more about her."
Remy: "Ugh, right. Your sister works for a noble."
Henry: "Be quiet. What if someone hears you?"
Remy: "What was her name again… Nao… mi… Naomi."
Fiona: "What?"
Jade: "What did you say?"
Henry: "She does not remember clearly. After our parents died, she was adopted. She knows me, but we barely talk. Her parents forbade it. She only knows I am her brother from another family she never knew. She was just a baby. The last time she spoke to me was by chance, when she wanted to know more about the murder of her fiancé, Arthur."
Fiona: "Wait… Naomi. Cossette is in danger. I left her with Naomi to protect her, but now she is in danger."
Remy: "What?"
Jade: "Naomi helped Fiona and Cossette. Fiona lives in her apartment with Cossette, and Cossette is with her."
Fiona: "We have to get there fast. They might be in danger."
Remy: "Hey, Henry. Where does your sister work, and what exactly is Corbeau planning?"
Henry: "Corbeau just wants to overthrow the country. That is all I know."
Bang
Suddenly, a shot came through the window.
Remy: "Cover."
They took cover.
The shots stopped.
Henry: "Ghhh."
Fiona: "Huh."
Henry had been hit in the neck. He clutched his throat.
Henry: "Ghhh."
Remy: "Henry."
They ran to him.
Fiona: "He was hit in the neck."
Remy: "We have to do something."
Fiona: "Forget it, Remy."
She held his shoulder.
Fiona: "His throat was hit."
Henry: "Naomi… please… help her."
Remy: "Mm."
Henry: "Please."
Remy held his hand.
Remy: "I will watch over her."
Henry died.
Remy: "Damn it. Corbeau was watching him."
Jade: "We need to leave."
Fiona: "And get to Naomi and Cossette."
Remy: "Let's go."
They ran off. Remy returned briefly, closed Henry's eyes, then ran after Fiona and Jade.

Corbeau: "Naomi… since when are you alive?"
Click
Corbeau: "Guilty. The sister of a fool, working for nobles."
Click
Corbeau: "Punishment."
Click
Corbeau: "Death."
Knock knock
Naomi opened the door.
Naomi: "Hello? Do I know you, sir?"
Corbeau: "Excuse me. My name is Jeff Petron."
Naomi: "I do not know you. Can I help you?"
Corbeau: "You can help me."
Suddenly she felt the gun pressed against her stomach.
Naomi: "Ugh."
Corbeau: "Before I shoot, is anyone else inside?"
Naomi: "No, I live here alone."
Corbeau: "Good. Then the evidence must go too."
Click
Corbeau: "Last words."
Naomi: "Only goodbye."
Corbeau: "Goodbye, my dear."
Footsteps
Corbeau: "Ugh."
Remy: "No."
Shadows burst from Remy's back and attacked him.
Corbeau: "Ugh."
He shook them off, but the mask covering half his face fell.
Corbeau: "Corvin… hehehe."
Remy: "Corbeau."
Corbeau: "Hello, Remy."
He revealed his face. One half was flesh and skin, the other half only skull, with one eye remaining.
Jade: "Ugh."
Fiona: "Huh."
Remy: "Stop, Corbeau."
Corbeau: "Hmph."
He aimed at Naomi. Corvin interfered again, but Corbeau fired and hit Naomi in the shoulder.
Naomi: "Urk."
Fiona: "Naomi."
Corbeau: "Tch."
He threw down a smoke bomb. Smoke spread, and he vanished.
Remy: "He is gone."
Fiona: "Naomi."
Fiona ran to her, Jade followed.
Fiona: "Naomi, are you okay?"
Naomi: "It hurts, but I am okay."
Fiona: "Where is Cossette?"
Naomi: "Do not worry. She is inside her room."
Fiona: "Let me see your wound."
Jade: "Hmm."
Fiona: "Not deep, but you need to go to the hospital."
Naomi: "Mm."
Cossette: "Fiona."
Fiona: "Cossette."
Cossette: "What is happening?"
Fiona: "Thank goodness you were in another room."
Cossette: "What about Naomi?"
Jade: "It is okay, little one."
Fiona: "Remy, what was wrong with his face?"
Remy: "During the war he suffered a terrible wound. Half of his face melted, leaving flesh and bone."
Fiona: "Hmm."
Remy: "We need to get Naomi to the hospital."
Fiona: "Shh."
Remy: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Do not tell her about Henry. She knew him, but she has lost enough."
Remy: "But…"
Fiona: "Please, Remy."
Remy: "Okay."
Fiona: "Thank you."
They brought Naomi to the hospital.
Doctors rushed her inside.
Later
Fiona: "Will she be okay?"
Doctor Rose: "She is no longer in danger. The wound was not deep."
Relief followed.
Meanwhile, Rose took a break.
Suddenly, someone buried an axe in her chest.
Splash
Rose collapsed.
A Dark Hood member vanished.
Dark Hood member: "Those who save the lives of those working for nobles are guilty as well."
Later
Naomi woke up.
Naomi: "Fiona?"
Fiona: "I am glad you are okay."
Naomi: "Why did he attack me?"
Fiona: "Because you work for a noble."
Naomi: "But how did he know where I live?"
Fiona: "Henry."
Naomi: "My brother."
Fiona realized the truth too late.
Later, screams echoed.
Fiona rushed out.
Rose lay dead on the floor, an axe in her chest.
Remy: "Naomi."
Fiona: "Stay here."
Jade stayed with Naomi, trembling with rage.
Remy and Fiona investigated.
Remy: "An axe."
Fiona: "A painful death."
They found chocolate nearby.
Remy: "Fruit flavored."
Fiona: "Dark Hood."
They realized Rose was killed for saving Naomi.
Meanwhile
Corbeau: "Was it done?"
Dark Hood member: "Yes."
Corbeau: "Good work."
Back with Naomi
Jade stayed by her side.
Naomi: "Thank you for staying."
Jade: "Always."
