I helped a couple of times, and he tutored me back. Then one day Mr. Testudinata simply disappeared without a trace...” Fiora adjusts her hat. “But what makes it truly perplexing is that he returned, almost three years ago, begging for my father’s help for his ‘final case’. I wanted to contribute, but he declined as the case was deemed too dangerous. He told me that if anything goes awry, I’d be the last hope. Then they were gone and I haven’t seen them since...”
