Eerily Quiet

## Story

Daniel awakens from his nightmare in a state of panic after witnessing a horrid, blackened Berenice Prestegard in her hospital white coat scream loudly at him as he was in his hospital bed. Luckily for him his friends are all surrounding him, worried about the previous trials that Daniel underwent throughout his time in the Husher mansion and for his current health, providing him some much needed comfort in a time of need. Lidia and whoever else comfort Daniel and provide him the things that he had found in the mansion, the most important clue being evidence that Husher sent the music box, that Daniel heard and saw behind the mirror, to Isaac Färber, a friend of Husher's and an owner of "Färber and Sons Antique Store" which he runs with his daughter, Erica Färber. When Daniel tells them of his plan to go visit the shop to talk to Isaac and figure out about the baffling music box, they begrudgingly listen and agree to help him out but only after his insistence upon the matter. After all, they're only just going to talk to Isaac...

Erica is returning home that night, after coming back from one of her recent travels. She is unaware of what has taken place at the antique shop, as she hadn't spoken to her father in a while.

René Artigas, a selfless police officer, is on duty when he receives a request from the neighboring restaurant to check out the antique store after hearing weird noises coming from the store, yet no noticeable activity from the antique store. He agrees to go check it out without any hesitation, due to his strong belief upon protecting and helping his fellow citizens in his local area.

When they arrive at the antique store the day has turned to night and the rain is pouring down lightly upon the city and the store. Upon trying the door, they quickly discover that it is shut and locked. Luckily for the gang Isaac is predictable in where he hides the key, which is located under the flowerpot on top of the windowsill. They hastily unlock the door and are greeted by an empty and eerily quiet store. Throughout the episode they find even more letters from both Isaac and Husher, the person who the music box was acquired from by Isaac, otherwise known as Ariadne LeGrant-Amsberg, and a tale of a perverted security guard who preyed upon Erica. Throughout the episode they are trying to find the bloodied wardrobe Isaac referenced in a recorded tape and get into his office where he has locked himself inside. After finding the mentioned wardrobe they break into Isaac's office where they find him dead, having succumb to the effects of the music box. He hung himself from the rafters in order to stop the madness, leaving Daniel and the rest in hardly a better position in terms of leads.

They retrieve the music box from the deceased Isaac's desk, and call the police to figure out what to do with Isaac. Daniel and one other then make the decision to return the music box to its owner, hoping it'll fix whatever is going on to the listeners. When they arrive at Ariadne's worn-down home, they knock on the door and hope to elicit a response from her. She answers and they give her the music box. Before they can leave she asks them a cryptic question of "if they had listened to the music box", to which Daniel responds that he has, and she retreats back inside muttering "he listened."

Later that night, with Sophie van Denend or Lidia's permission, he opts to stay at one of the two's apartment for a few days, at least until things return to being right and normal again. He takes the couch in the living room, where he later has another nightmare, but this time it's when he is awake. In the corner of the room he sees a crying Sophie/Lidia, wondering what's going on with them he calls out their name questioningly before turning on the lamp prompting them to disappear as if they were an illusion all along. They then come out of their bedroom and ask Daniel if everything is alright before the episode ends.
