A month passed by over time; a period Lucas felt to be one of the most peaceful he had ever lived in this new life. During this one month of peace and solitude, Lucas spent his time creating vestiges, taking orders, and running the store with the assistance of his new employee, Melissa.
Melissa stayed with Lucas for two weeks before the Hyuman Care and Rehab Society reached out to him. They had informed Lucas that there was no record of Melissa or her parents on the Alleva district's citizen database, which meant that Melissa's parents were illegal migrants. Such situations weren't rare, especially in the grey zone known as Alleva district. However, the result of that was problematic for Melissa.
