Short Summary: MC’s investigation into Rafayel’s eerie paintings, linked to coral stones and haunting dreams, leads to their partnership as she becomes his reluctant bodyguard.

TIMELINE NOTES: Right after chapter 01, no memories in-between.

Part 02 - Close Encounter

While investigating Raymond’s* house, MC discovers a Lemurian skeleton in a fishtank, marking a key connection to Wanderers and the Lemurian mystery.

• Zayne’s former patient who has heart issues

Part 05 - Artsy Dreams

After battling a Wanderer, MC resonates with Rafayel’s haunting painting of a crimson-stained sea and experiences a vision of a girl crying and laughing with a melancholic song playing—a possible reference to MC killing Rafayel in their past.

Translated song lyrics:

🎵 💔

A fish in your hand, please burn with passion.

Nets of moonlight with coral, a prison.

When waves kiss the morning sun, the scent of roses pierce.

With a fish in your hand -

Blood

Blood covers the sea.

Note: I think it’s alluding to the sad story we have plenty of hints happened (the one where MC killed Raf OR the tsunami during his childhood in the present lifetime)
