Dean's mood instantly lightened. The money he spent was only meant to ward off bad luck, and he could always earn more again.
Meanwhile, after chatting with Professor Greens, Avery stepped out of the bookstore wordlessly and locked herself inside her bedroom after arriving home.
Ben tried a few times to ask what had happened, but he could not bring himself to actually ask the question. Once he got Avery home, he called Mike and told him to hurry home.
When Mike hurried home, he went to knock on Avery's door but did not dare to intrude when she did not respond.
In the evening, Ben urged Mike to get Avery. "Go tell her to come out for dinner!"
Mike shook his head. "I don't dare to. I think Elliot might be dead. Why else would she stay quiet the whole time?"

However, Professor Greens was not certain if Angela was experimenting on Elliot, but he promised Avery that he would help to find out.
Though she did not have a confirmed answer, her heart was already filled with despair.
Ben's heart sank and struggled to breathe at Avery's words. "Is it really possible to bring dead people back to life?" he asked in disbelief.
