Plot[]

As the team arrived in Soulbound Grounds, Chief Rose goes out to find his father, while Anthony and the Player decide to explore the district. After walking for a while, they heard a scream coming from the woods. There, they found the body of Merlyn Rake with her throat slashed. The duo then suspected hunter Gareth Langley after finding his rifle at the crime scene. Later, student Loup Hunt and goth girl Kathy Webb were also suspected before discovering that the victim was part of an anarchist organization called The Soulless Shadows.

The duo rushed to the anarchist base, just to find it abandoned with not a single person around. There, they did find a telescope leading them to astrologist Knott Brystent, who said that he often visits curious places to get a better understanding of how angles influence how you see the stars. Afterwards, the detectives suspected camper Lucy Devine who wanted to visit the angel statue in the forest, but quickly noticed that it had been closed off because of police investigation and settled down at the camping site. Eventually, camper Lucy Devine was arrested for the murder.

Lucy confessed to the crime, saying that she was only using self defense. When questioned about this, she said that Merlyn and 2 other guys in masks walked up to her, weapons in their hands. The victim started attacking her, so she grabbed her knife and tried to defend herself. Because she knew that only hurting them won't make them leave, she cut Merlyn's throat. The shock made the other anarchists run away, leaving Lucy alone with the dead body, covered in blood. Sice neither Merlyn's nor The Soulless Shadows' motive was clear, Judge Blade sentenced Lucy Devine to 7 years in prison.

After the trial, Chief Rose confronted the Player and asked them if they could help interrogate his father, museum owner Benedict Rose. When confronted about the drugs they discovered in the previous investigation, Benedict denied any involvment, followed by scolding Michael about asking him insane questions. After they were done questioning Benedict, Michael left to go somewhere he wouldn't tell the Player, but said they should have a look around the woods with Brooklyn to see if they can find anything on his father. There, they managed to find a family photo, showing Michael alongside his father, mother and sister. Diana had a look at the photo, only to discover that Michael's sister Olivia had passed away around 20 years ago. The duo went to ask Benedict about this, who said that ever since Olivia died, Michael had been disobeying his parents, doing anything to make them angry. After the encounter with Benedict, Michael wasn't seen again by the team for the rest of the day.

Later, Anthony and the Player had a look at the anarchist hideout again, as both of them were curious about what The Soulless Shadows were up to. They managed to find anarchist Gabriel Savage, who said that the anarchist group do not want to cause any harm to anyone, also saying that Merlyn and the 2 other guys who attacked Lucy were 'rejects' who didn't 'believe'. The next day, Michael showed up at the station, saying he heard a very disturbing noice somewhere in the forest...
