Back in Lockwood, Elijah watched from a distance as the servants cleared out what had once been his father's study. With his family having departed in the morning, Elijah was left in the estate, which he could now turn to his liking.
It felt strange to see most of Edgar's belongings no longer present in the study. Elijah remembered all the times he had searched for his father and found him here. Then they would have a long talk before Edgar would take Elijah along to do business.
Fortunately, his family could not move all their belongings in one trip, so many remained, and Elijah wanted to keep it that way. He didn't want his family to take everything as though they wouldn't one day return.
"Gerald," Elijah stopped the butler. "What is there to be done now?"
"The servants are clearing out the master chamber and moving your things there. Or, is there something else you speak of?" Gerald asked, overseeing the maids' work as he walked to Elijah.
