You start to work on your research.

The goal is to find information about the forest. Maybe there has been some sort of dark history around it, or maybe everything was just a hallucination, and even if it is some sort of hallucination, you hoped that you could find any explanation for it as well.

You started to read newspaper clippings from ten years ago. All you found were articles about the opening of different businesses, sports news, holiday news, and nothing else.

You went further back, exactly fifteen years ago today.

And you found something.

"The opening of the archive room in New Helios Town," You mumbled as you read the newspaper.

You sat on the cushioned seat as the lights started flickering. In the center of the front page, you could see a large black-and-white photo of the ribbon-cutting ceremony. You looked at each of the smiling faces and stopped when you saw someone familiar.

"That's... Lucille."
