The trio gathered before a small shrine dedicated to Dr. Funke’s ancestors. The shrine featured a pastoral painting depicting a countryside village, complete with a majestic pine tree that seemed to welcome visitors. In the center, there were two candles, casting a sacred aura over the scene.

Dr. Funke flicked his lighter, igniting the candles with reverence.

“Lydia, come,” Dr. Funke said, glancing back at her.

Without hesitation, Lydia mimicked Dr. Funke’s actions, placing her incense in the holder.
