The next morning, Rei woke up with a strange feeling. She felt a sense of urgency, a need to do something, to make things right. She knew she had to find Silas, to confront him, to make him pay for what he had done.
She went to the town square, where she found the townsfolk gathered, their faces etched with fear and suspicion. They whispered among themselves, their eyes darting nervously around the square.
"What's going on?" Rei asked, her voice trembling.
"Silas is back," one of the townsfolk said, his voice barely a whisper. "He's been seen lurking in the shadows, watching us."
Rei felt a chill run down her spine. She knew she had to find him, to stop him before he could hurt anyone else.
She searched the town, looking for any sign of Silas, but he was nowhere to be found. She asked the townsfolk if they had seen him, but they all denied it, their eyes filled with fear.
"He's hiding," Rei said, her voice filled with determination. "But I'm going to find him."
She decided to go to the mines, a place where she had often seen Silas lurking in the shadows. She knew it was dangerous, but she had to try.
She entered the mines, her heart pounding in her chest. The air was thick with dust and the smell of sulfur, and the darkness seemed to press in on her from all sides. She felt a growing sense of unease, a feeling that she was being watched.
She walked deeper into the mines, her flashlight beam cutting through the darkness. She heard a rustling sound ahead of her, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Silas?" she called out, her voice trembling slightly.
There was no answer. The only sound was the dripping of water and the creaking of the mine shafts.
She continued to walk, her flashlight beam scanning the darkness. She saw a figure ahead of her, standing in the shadows.
"Silas?" she called out again, her voice filled with fear.
The figure turned, and Rei gasped in horror. It was Silas, his face twisted with a cruel smile. He held Kenzo's body in his arms, his grip tight and cold.
"You're too late," Silas said, his voice a chilling whisper. "Your brother is gone forever."
He looked at Rei, his eyes burning with a malevolent light.
"And you will join him soon," he said, his voice dripping with venom.
He lunged at Rei, his fist swinging towards her face. But before he could connect, Rei stumbled backward, her body falling into the darkness. She screamed, her voice echoing through the mine shafts, but it was too late.
Silas stood over her, his face contorted with a cruel smile. He looked at her, his eyes filled with a cold, calculating gleam.
"Goodbye, Rei," he said, his voice a chilling whisper. "I hope you find peace in the darkness."
He then turned and vanished into the shadows, leaving Rei alone in the darkness, her body broken, her heart shattered.
