Three days ago, Katya steered Claudio off, saying that Sorin had gone to try to find Anna again. Of course, Sorin had never been found since the Espelhar took him. In a small room, Daniel laid in a bed. He had barely slept, even with the drugs they were giving him. He felt sick to the bottom of his stomach, and not from his injuries, which were incredibly extensive. As he gazed out of the window, all he saw was The demon taking Claudio, murdering his father, reminding him of his childhood, killing all of those innocent people...
He had eventually received the flute his grandmother left for him in her will. He held it next to him.
"...Daniel..." Claudio said, he had been sitting there this entire time. Daniel eventually turned his head to see the exorcist sitting there. Worry was written all over his face, but Daniel said nothing; He already knew why Claudio was worried. "It's been three days since I've heard from Sorin..." He took a deep breath. "Daniel, I know how you were exorcised. I need to know if the demon took him under the guise of your mother... I can help him... I just need to know..." Daniel still said nothing to him, as much as he wanted to. His eyes were dark, as he turned his head back to the window. Claudio sighed, fearing the worst... He walked to the door, but before he left he turned to Daniel. "I know the demon still has power over you. Fear is an incredibly hard thing to break... When you're ready to talk..." He said, as he walked out of the room. "I hope Sorin isn't dead..."
Daniel had tears streaming down his face, as he gently held the flute. He sat up, looking at it. He inhaled weakly, and attempted to play his instrument...

Katya eventually entered the room after Claudio left. She was worried for Daniel and tried all she could to stay near him. She was glad that she got to stay in Ireland. She also later found out what happened to her mother in Hong-Kong. She wanted to go down there to see her, but Elise insisted that Katya stay behind in Ireland. She could only imagine all the pain that her mother must be in. But also, Daniel. Katya really hated this. She could only imagine the pain that everyone was going through. There was so much sadness and sorrow. Yet, there was nothing she can do. Not even her "gifts" could help fix everyone's problems.
"Daniel... I... I'm scared!" She admitted.

What little sound that was coming from the instrument stopped when Katya said she was scared. It was a moment before he eventually put the flute down, and put a hand on hers. He still said nothing, as he did with Claudio, and it wasn't long before he pulled away. He rose his flute back up and began playing once more. He thought of his brother, and the hopelessness he felt. He eventually put the flute down, as his heart ached too much.
Soon, a nurse came in to check his wounds. The air was thick, and it was awkward. At this point the nurses don't even say anything to him anymore.
As soon as she left, Daniel turned to Katya. He picked up the dry erase board by his bed, and wrote something down. He showed it to her. "Are You Okay?" It asked her.

She shook her head, showing her honesty and raw emotions.
"This whole thing is a mess..." She admits. "Everyone is hurting. And there's nothing I can do about it. Everything is so dark and grim... I'm scared."

Daniel was quiet, frowning. He erased what was on the board, writing something else. "We can't talk about that anymore." He showed her. He then erased that and wrote "People will die." He frowned more, "I've seen it." He wrote, and showed her the board. He sighed, sitting up, and facing her. He took her hands. He gave one a soft kiss. He held them to his chest.
"I....." He began, his voice cracking as it came out. "Think... Clau.. dio... will figure.... it a... ll... out." His eyes welled up. "My... moth... er.... suffers.... Can't.... see her.... like that..."
He took a deep breath, trying to gain his composure, wiping his tears...

Katya blushed a little. Not because she wasn't expecting a kiss, it was just that her porcelain complexion made her face reddening more obvious.
"It's not just your mother. My mother suffers, too. Claudio and Sorin suffer. Even Nina suffers. We are all suffering right now. I just want it to stop! I hope Claudio can fix everything..."

Daniel frowned, "....They... don't.... know what... suffer...ing... is..." He refers to what he experienced being possessed by the demon, what his mother is now afflicted by. He didn't want to negate anyone's feelings, or what others were going through, but he personally knew what that was like... and he hated that he chose it, just to save him... HE didn't understand it. She barely knew him, and he barely knew her. But... he remembered when he was child.... He pushed the memory away, opting to look at Katya instead.
"Do... You... Want...?" He asked, showing her green jello.

Katya nods, agreeing with Daniel. But it was nice to get something off of her chest. Daniel was literally the only person nearby that she fully trusts. She totally understands his struggles and pain. She knows what it's like to do something against your own will.
There was an incident where Elise took Katya to a graveyard to meet her father. It was then that Elise revealed to Katya the truth: biologically, Katya is Elise's direct clone, therefore making Elise's parents her biological parents. Out of anger, shock, and disbelief, Katya had lost control of her genes and attacked Elise at the cemetery. Thankfully, Elise wasn't seriously wounded, and Lei managed to talk her down. She feels bad about the whole thing, but everyone forgives her.
She really worries about Claudio. Can he sense it? What if he finds out what she truly is? Is he going to kill her? This is why Daniel is the only person Katya trusts right now.
"Do... You... Want...?"
"Sure." Katya said, taking the jello. She ate it one-handed, placing the other hand over Daniel. "I'm sure this whole thing blows over soon."

Daniel smiled a little as she took the jello. He took another deep breath, trying to forget about the sharp pains in his abdomen. He turned to Katya, keeping her hand close to him. "....I... hope... so...." He said, not really believing it to be true, but one can hope. He must have hope in these dark times. He hoped his brother was still alive, and not being tortured by this horrible monster. "...We... need... to find... Sorin..." He said, "Claudio... is right...."
"...While... i was... poss...essed... It took... him... to... suicide... forest..." He said, "He... could... be there..."
He felt a knot in his stomach, feeling like the Espelhar was near... He looked away from Katya, scared.

"I think it will..." She smiled a fake smile, though she, too somewhat had a hard time believing in her own words.
"...While... i was... poss...essed... It took... him... to... suicide... forest... He... could... be there..."
"But where is it and how do you get there? Should I tell Claudio?"

Daniel shook his head, "People... will.. die..." He took her hands, "...You... must... go..." He paused. "...Alone..." He picked up his dry erase board, and drew a map for her. He handed it to her. "...Please... Katya... He... is... the only.... family... i.... have..." He frowned, feeling guilt. The Espelhar took Sorin because he was going to tell him that it was their mother who was possessed now. He clutched her hands, "...I... can't... lose him... too..." Despite only knowing Sorin for a short time, he was his brother. Daniel always longed for family. Aiko and her family turned out to be a horrible lie. Sorin was all he ahd left. Daniel had no hope that Anna would be free of the demon. The only thing he could hope for is that they could destroy this demon, and give her peace... For once in her life.

Katya found herself with Daniel begging her to go find his brother. At first she wasn't sure exactly what to do, but now she understood.
"I don't want to leave your side, but I will do it for your sake!"

He gave Katya a small smile, holding her hands still... He placed another soft kiss on them, and then one on her lips. "....Thankyou..." He said. "Find... Zakk... They... were... friends.... He.. could... help?" He suggested.

Katya kisses Daniel back. When he suggested asking Zakk for help, Katya was familiar with Lei's son. He's good company, albeit a bit rough around the edges.
"I actually know him. He can be of help." She said. "Thanks for the tip..."
She reluctantly pulls away. "Take care of yourself... I uh... Will be back with Sorin."

Daniel smiled, "....I... Will..." Before she left, he sat up, "...You... will... succeed.... I... be.. lieve.... in... you.." He said, before laying back. He closed his eyes, the drugs seemed to finally be kicking in. It wasn't long before he fell asleep...
---
Daniel was running through the halls of the Zaibatsu. Every once in a while, one of the kind scientists would let him out to play, and boy how he enjoyed those times. The seven year old continued to run, laughing, as the scientist continued after him. Daniel couldn't hear the scientist telling him to come back, and he ran through the halls until he found himself in a large, dark room. Daniel began to shiver, as he walked through he could only see a large blue cylinder with someone laying inside... He walked up to it, looking at the woman. He narrowed his eyes, "...Wow..."
"...Daniel!" The young boy spun around, "...I'm sorry!" He spun back around to look at the woman inside, "...She looks like me!" He peered in with his blue eyes, "Who is she..?" He asked, placing a hand on the glass. The scientist put his hand on Daniel's shoulder.
"...She's your mother." The scientist admitted. The guilt could be heard in his voice. The boy was then picked up by the scientist. He looked at him, "...Why is she sleeping..?" He asked. The scientist took off his glasses, flashing his blue eyes at him... "She, like you, is part of something bigger..." He said, and brought Daniel away... As he was carried, Daniel looked back at his mother... He smiled, hoping to see her awake someday...
