Matthew had been anxiously waiting for Simone's report for days. He knew that sending him to investigate Nathaniel's death was the right decision. But he was distraught, as he couldn't shake the feeling of guilt that had been gnawing at him since his son's passing.

Matthew nodded. It was about time.
"I could guess it from our last conversation. Tell me, Simone," Matthew said. "What did you find out?"
Simone took a deep breath before speaking; what he was going to tell his employer wasn't simple nor pleasant.
