"We're back Sylvie, were you on your best behavior?" Ms. Aria said as she opened the door.

"We're back Sylvie!" Patricia said as she entered the house happily as if she had always lived there.

"Are you hungry right now Sylvie?" Bert asked her.

There was no reply to be seen or heard. The trio were stumped as they expected a reply or a greeting of some sort. But, they did not even receive a single ounce of sound.

"Sylvie?" Ms. Aria called out once more in a worried tone.

'Earlier I sensed someone enter the magic circle and knocked on the front door… I hope she is still okay… There are many hidden experts in the world that she does not know of…' Ms. Aria thought to herself as she immediately put the box of pizza and the bag of puddings aside before she rushed towards the living room.

"Sylvie!" Ms. Aria cried out when she entered it.
