"Meeting adjourned. You may all go to your respective rooms."

The nations present didn't need to be told twice. They all stood up and rushed out the door in anticipation as soon as Ludwig dismissed them all.

//that night...

Feliciano was tossing and turning in bed. He couldn't sleep. He kept having weird and scary visions of a tall and gray monster with a body shape similar to that of an alien, but with big solid black eyes and an elongated neck that seemed all too familiar.

Some of his visions were memories he'd rather forget.

"V-Ve!!"

Feliciano woke up in a pool of his own sweat, a panting mess.

'Ve... it was... just a dream...'

He got out of his bed, grabbed a cold glass of milk from the minifridge, and took a seat on the small dining set near the balcony.

At that moment, everything seemed so calm and peaceful.

That is, until he looked outside the window far beyond the dark of night over to the haunted hilltop.

He immediately regretted it.

It may have been dark outside, but Feliciano couldn't help but notice the door of the mansion far off on the distant hilltop.

"Is the door... open?!"

Feliciano shook his head rapidly in denial.

"No... I-It can't be... I..."

Feliciano could feel his heart pounding rapidly against his chest. He couldn't believe it. He thought that nightmare was over and contained.

He thought he finally managed to save everyone after so many failed attempts.

"But I... I..."

Feliciano buried his face in his hands.

"I THOUGHT I LOCKED THE DOOR!"
