But that day when we were talking in the hallway, the sun was shining… Then, I saw it… I saw a shadow next to yours." Even though there was no one standing beside me at that time, there was another shadow next to mine! "And the strange thing about that shadow…" Noah trailed off.

Both parties appeared to have reached an agreement as they joyfully closed the deal. “Alright! We are leaving now! Let’s go, buddies! Let's go home to split the money!” Before they departed, Scarface glared at the carriage and smacked his lips unwillingly, “What a shame!
