Dear Reader, you now hear the thoughts of Fumeko Namora.
'Taken by force. Why didn't they do it the first go around? They can't have everything figured out if dad got the Unknown… … …! Did they check the Unknown for runes on his body? Could've been dismissed as a tattoo.

"Knck, Knck, Knck!"
"Meko!! Meko look!"
