And he hugged her. She found out that they were all real, and that Hunter, their "overlord", who was also dead, was supposed to help them in finding out the mysteries behind all their deaths. Hunter recruits Darina to help the 4 of them, since they seem to be getting nowhere. Jonas, who was the first to die, is her priority for now. She has to find out who killed him.
