"Well, I won't mind seeing my Uncle again... I was hoping to get an update on my mom's disappearance, so it works.." He said, walking with her to the door. He knocked, waiting for an answer.
Inside, before Chris could get a response from his wife and Eric, He heard a knock at the door. "Hang on..." He grumbled, as he walked to the door. He opened it, and his face brightened a little to see Anna's youngest son. "Daniel... Come in." He said, opening the door. "Daniel this is my wife, Marcella and her friend Eric." He said.
Daniel gave a small wave, "Hi.. This is Katya, my friend." He said. Chris gave her a smile, "What can I do for you..?" He asked his nephew.
"Well, I was hoping I could get an update on my mom... Have you found anything..?" He asked. "How is your sister?" He asked, concerned.
"No..." Chris said, "Unfortunately... The police don't believe that Anna's disappearance is related to the attacks on Lillian and my mother." He said, his voice full of sorrow. Daniel nodded, "I'm so sorry for your loss... Grandmother seemed... Generous." He said. Chris laughed a little. "She was with her descendants..." He smiled.
Daniel crossed his arms, "I have someone... who might be able to help, my friend... I'll talk to her..." He hadn't thought about asking Sylvia to read the deck, but... at this point the family seemed desperate for answers.

Katya smiled as she looked at Chris and Marcella. "So nice to meet you." She smiled. "So you're Daniel's Uncle. You must be nice."
Once invited inside, she had to go look for some letters. The place is pretty big and spacious. Her mother told her that she lived in a big house and couldn't wait to get there. But for now, she had to figure out which room to go to.
"Unfortunately... The police don't believe that Anna's disappearance is related to the attacks on Lillian and my mother. I'm so sorry for your loss... Grandmother seemed... Generous."
"As am I." Katya added. She did feel bad for them. Losing someone important to them so suddenly by the hands of someone else. Katya could only imagine what would happen if the Tekken Force were to suddenly kill her mother. She'd be wrecked.
Though she had to think quickly.

Just when Marcella and Eric were about to respond to Chris, there was a knock at the door. Both of them turned around to see who it was, surprised to see that it was someone neither of them knew.
Christopher introduced Marcella and Eric to someone named.. Daniel. Marcella waved at him and smiled, while Eric shook his hand. Eric pulled Marcella over, "I'm going to go check on Ely, just to see if she's okay.."
Marcella gave Eric a nod of approval, and with that Eric ran upstairs, to knock on Elysium's door to her room...

Chris looked at Marcella, "This is one of Anna's children..." He whispered to her. Daniel crossed his arms, as Chris returned his attention to his nephew. "Who is this woman..?" He asked. Daniel scratched his head, "Gonna sound crazy... but She's a fortune teller." He started, "She's the closest thing to a sister I have. She's good." He said, with a smile. "I just want to find my mother. I know Sorin does too..." He said.
Chris nodded, "I've never believed in that kind of stuff, but if you believe your sister can help, then by all means..." He paused. "Finding my sister is top priority, along with finding the woman who killed my mother and tried to kill my sister, Lillian."
Daniel tilted his head, "Just a thought... Police said they didn't think they were connected? Why?"
Chris nodded, "Because of the MO. My father, mother, and Lillian were all poisoned. Anna's attack looked violent. Especially with the explosion...." He thought for a moment... "Almost as if it were staged..." he whispered.
----
Elysium woke up to the sound of a knock. She rubbed her head, feeling a dull pain. She went to the door, and opened it. "Eric..." She mumbled. "I thought you would have left by now..." She said.

Marcella had no clue that Anna had a son, knowing her she keeps her private life under wraps, so this however did not surprise Marcella at all.
She walked into the kitchen to fix herself something to snack on while Chris talked with his nephew...
---
"You know that I couldn't leave you here.." Eric said, smiling at her, "May I come in?" He asked, not wanting to be rude by barging in her room.

Elysium nodded, allowing Eric into her room. She laid back down, rubbing her eyes. On the nightstand there was a photo of her with her father and grandmother. She had it turned away from her. She sat up, and checked her phone for any messages. She sat indian style on the bed, and patted next to her, telling Eric to sit with her.
"Sorry for earlier.." She said, sniffling a little. "I guess I went a little nutty..."
She then responded to some E-Mails, her phone was blowing up due to the revelation of Johanna's death. She eventually just put it on silent, and set it on the nightstand.
She sat back, "I don't even know what to do..."

Sitting next to Elysium, Eric placed her head on his shoulder, and ran his fingers through her hair in an attempt to soothe her mind, he knew that she was going through a lot at this time.
She apologized, and he chuckled, almost waving it off. "No need to apologize love. I understand how you've felt. It's a lot going on right now, and at that time it was too much to bear at that point. But you're okay now, and that's all that matters."

She rested her head on his shoulder, crying quietly. "Am I...?" She asked. She sighed, "I guess I will have to be.." She picked herself up, and looked at Eric. "We're going to have to decide who will run the business..." She mentioned. "Nina is already working... Aunt Lilli is in a coma... Daddy never really wanted to run it... Aunt Anna is missing..." She sighed. "Grandmother wouldn't have wanted any of this."
She had some tea on the bedside table. She picked it up, and sipped it.
"I can't run it. Grandmother specifically stated in her will that her children inherit the business..." She said, rubbing her head.

Eric stood up and walked over to Elysium, hugging her from behind, his hands rested just above her waist. He gave her quick, small kisses starting from her jaw down to her neck, stopping just above her collarbone..
He hated seeing her stressed, or anyone stressed for that matter..
He rested his head on her shoulder, "It looks like you may have to be the one to own it love. Someone has to do it, and I believe that you'd be the best candidate."

Katya nodded. "I hope you guys find her." She smiled. Katya finally thought of something. This house is big, where is she going to find Lillian's room?
"I uh... excuse me... um.. do you mind if I excuse myself and go the the restroom?" Katya finally though. "I uh... pee when I get nervous..." Which is very true. She is indeed very nervous.

Chris raised a brow. "Up the stairs... To the left." He said. Daniel patted Katya's back, "No need to be nervous." He said, smiling warmly. Chris sighed, "Excuse me...." He said, walking into the Kitchen. "Honey, can you keep an eye on Ely? I need to go see my sister." He said, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Love you..." He said, as he walked away. "It was good to see you, Daniel. Hopefully next time it'll be under better circumstances." He said, walking out the door.
Daniel sighed, and stood awkwardly. He walked around the Estate. There were portraits, and paintings everywhere. It was a beautifully decorated home. He eventually would walk to Marcella.
"So... Family is kinda nutty, huh..?" He asked, nervously.
---
Elysium laughed, "Sure.." She looked at him, "And I'd have to go back to Ireland for good... I know you don't want that..." She said. She gave him a kiss on the cheek, before sitting back down on her bed. "I have a bad headache, will you just... lay with me..?" She asked, laying her head on the pillow.

"Sure thing Chris.." Marcella responded, smiling when Chris kissed her cheek, she watched him leave before returning to kitchen to snack on fruit she found in the fridge, accompanying her was Daniel, his comment made her laugh.
"Nutty is an understatement my dear, but you learn to love them." She said to him, before offering him some of her fruit.
---
"Of course I wouldn't want that, you mean too much to me.." Eric replied as he watched her lay down, and she wanted him to join her. Taking the offer, Eric laid down next to Ely, wrapping his arm around her waist, holding her close to him.
He placed a kiss on her cheek, "You know you're beautiful right?" Eric said to Ely, as he moved his hand from her waist to her cheek to gently caress it.

When Daniel pat her back, Katya felt safe and warm. He was such a kind, compassionate man. Unlike what the Mishima Zaibatsu was trying to do. She blushed as she nodded. Upstairs is where she needs to go, and she need to go left. Maybe she will find Lillian's room.
Katya did as instructed and ran up the stairs and turned to the left. She walked past the bathroom, and walked by one room. She opened the door and wasn't sure if this was the right room. She didn't see any letters, so she guessed not. She tried another room, and didn't find anything.
I guess it's on the other side of the hall... She thought.
Katya then quietly made her way to the other side of the hall, bouncing on her feet as she felt her bladder was full. She was going to walk in the room, but she heard some people talking. She then steps away and finally finds Lillian's bedroom. She grabs the two envelopes and closes the door, quickly running to the restroom to handle her business, when she was done, she washed her hands and puts her gloves back on as she hides the envelopes in her coat pockets. She made her way down the stairs.
"Daniel! I'm back... sorry about that..." She rubs the back of her neck.

Elysium eventually fell back asleep in Eric's embrace...
---
'"I guess so..." Daniel said, nervously. Katya came back, and Daniel smiled at her. "It's alright!" He turned to Marcella, shaking her hand. "It was a pleasure to meet you, Marcella... Give my Uncle my best, Oh and my cousin!" He smiled. "You ready to go..?" He asked.
He walked with her to the door, and put his arm around her waist. He raised a brow, feeling something that wasn't there before. After shutting the front door, outside, he looked at her.
"Katya, did you take something..?" He asked as nicely as he could.

Katya followed Daniel outside, proud of herself. She got the notes and things were going smoothly. Once they were outside, Katya then grabbed an envelope from her pocket.
"Here. Your mother told me to give this to you. Do not tell anyone this." She placed her index finger on her lips. "It is a secret. You can keep secrets, right?"
