World Log 4: Against Time (1/5) Mathilda: That was quick. Did something happen? Yin: We found Rosalina's killer, only for them to disappear right in front of our eyes, taking the opera mask with them! Mathilda: You lost them?! Who even are they? Yin: I have no idea, but she seemed to know Detective well. Said they met each other back in Redville City or something like that. Mathilda: ..... Mathilda: Detective...did you just encounter Kayla? Matthew: They did. I saw it. Mathilda: Matthew! For God's sake, how many times do I have to tell you to always knock at the door first? Matthew: Do I have to while doing my job? No, right? Matthew: Anyway, to answer your question about Kayla, apparently she took the identity of William's dead sister for disguise. She even managed to steal Rosalina's opera mask without getting caught. Mathilda: Great, just when I thought that Enigma Group was already a pain in the neck. Valerie: Detective, I came here as soon as I received your message! What happened?! Mathilda: Apparently, Rosalina's killer escaped. And they took the opera mask with them. Valerie: What? This is terrible! We have to find it, no matter the cost! Matthew: Let me ask you something, McBain. Valerie: I'm sorry, who are you again? Matthew: Mathilda, did you forget to tell her about me? Mathilda: I can confidently say no. Valerie: Oh right...you're Mathilda's younger brother...sorry, you reminded me of Lady Avery so much... Matthew: It's okay. Now, answer me. What exactly is the purpose of that very mask to exist? And what makes it different than any other? Valerie: Well, it is a very valuable asset of Mystery Society, trusted to Lady Avery for full protection. Matthew: Why? Valerie: I have no idea. When Harvey gave the MS-ADA the mask, he only said that it's a very special item and must be protected at all costs. I didn't ask questions. Matthew: So you don't even know? Pathetic. Mathilda: Matt, please. Matthew: Sorry, I couldn't resist teasing her. Valerie: It's all right, Mathilda. But we have to retrieve that mask, fast! Harvey's going to kill us! Lucas: Sorry to interrupt, everyone, but I think we've just found it. Matthew: And you three are... Lucas: I'm Lucas Fletcher, MS-ADA's senior technologist. This is Freya Thompson, my assistant, and this is Joseph, her twin brother. When it comes to tracking down some stuff, we're the ones to call! Freya: Quit the introduction! We caught a signal near Freshwater Beach in the town of Manly, seemingly from the opera mask we're looking for! Joseph: Honestly, we're still not sure if it's really the mask or not, but sometimes we have to take the risk. Lucas: Oh, come on! My technology never fails! Valerie: Now now, Lucas. So we can't be sure that if we're hitting the right prize or not, but it doesn't hurt to try. Mathilda, can I trust you and your agency to return the mask safe and sound? Mathilda: You can count on us, Valerie. Abyss, Trisha, Archie and Yin, come with me. Matthew: Good luck. You will all need it. Niko: ..... Niko: (semi-brainwashed) Live while you still can. Soon enough, everything is going to head south.

Damn a 19 year old ruining her life already, and I also enjoyed this case. Once again, keep up the good work
