‘Did you hear that the Belgua fellow found a picture of the Herzen family?’ ‘Apparently The mayor found a story of a ball!’ ‘Miss Sophia has been hiding in her room for the entire day, or so I hear.’

"Well well well. It seems that the important figures of Dropstone do have time for a little game. I'm so pleased... Ah, but it seems that one of our guests is missing! Where is Sophia?"
(He looked down. And there she was, the mysterious woman that had been appearing everywhere, holding Sophia's invitation.)
"Miss, where is Sophia? What have you done with her?"
(It was almost time for his last dark miracle. Sophia had to be here, he couldn't let her stay where she was, or ... or ... she would most likely die.)
