Thaddeus was flown straight to his estate in Albera Town, and the darkness around him was something no one had ever seen before.
Thaddeus had always kept to himself since he was a child. He was hyper-focused on his studies growing up, and when he made the shocking decision to take Marine Biology, he couldn't be convinced out of it.
He was a little scary and intimidating—this was something consistent among people who knew him—but he had never been so… dark.
The estate was extremely somber at this time, with many people feeling scared of the threat of losing their jobs.
Thaddeus sat silently in one of the upholsteries, with the servants lined up with their heads down and shoulder slumped, afraid of his judgment.
Thaddeus tried his very best not to just explode and to just keep his calm. He knew that was the only way he could figure out what had happened—the only way he could get his Naia back.
