After adding some information and deciding to activate the web ritual for the next week on Monday at 3:00 am, Jonas then left the library. As usual, the servants decided to avoid his presence because of his uncanny behavior and deliberately making himself creepy.

He then decided to go towards the room next to his bedroom. It was where Uttu and Hamish are currently staying in their artificial habitats. He smiled when he saw that they seem okay and lively. The servants are properly taking care of them while he spent his days at Gotham Elementary.

Half an hour later, he then went to his room and informed one of the servants that he would be spending his time doing his "homework". Today, his parents would be returning home around 11 p.m. He was informed that they wouldn't be able to eat dinner with Jonas which they felt very guilty and regretful about.

From what he saw and showed so much, his new parents loved Jonas very much. It's a pity that they can't spend their time with him because of their work. Jonas's parents are workaholics who were struggling to find a balance between their work and spending their time with their only child.

If Jonas was a normal child, he would already feel lonely and alone. (He wondered if the former Jonas feel sad and alone always left by his parents due to work. ) Thankfully, he wasn't a normal child. It was also convenient for him that they were busy with their work. Jonas didn't need to make any excuses with them. And the only thing that he needed to be worried about was the servants who were creeped out by him and doing their best to avoid interacting with him as possible.

After finishing his homework he then peered into his bedroom and grabbed the puppet henchman. Then he lay down on the bed while covering himself with a blanket and closing his eyes.

[ Transferring consciousness to a vessel ]

The next moment that he opened his eyes, he was now the human mannequin that was laying on the floor. Today, he decided to leave early at the Cane Manor and test more of the marionette's henchman's abilities and prove some theories regarding it. Other than that, Jonas was also planning in exploring the narrows and the east end of Gotham.

An hour later, donning the identity of Theodore Morrison once again, he was now standing in front of a small pawnshop that the eye mentioned to him previous days ago.

[ Rags'n'Tatters ]

Entering the shop, he was greeted by the owner, Rory Reagan.

" ...Oh, welcome. Are you here for something young man? "

Rory Reagan is a brunette-haired man with traces of stubbles underneath his chin. His eyes are of blue icy color. He has a nonconfrontational stance and a relaxed and laid-back attitude. Jonas finds it unusual.

This is Gotham. And Rory Reagan lives in the most awful place within Gotham City which is the narrows. There was even a concerned expression on his face.

Jonas Cane finds himself suspicious of the man. He was living in one of the worst neighborhoods and he appears to be not cautious of him. Rory Reagan shows an unwary and concerned expression. This is uncommon. The Usual residents of Gotham and the narrows should be vigilant since living in the narrows doesn't scream safety and friendly.

He wondered, what is the man behind that concerned expression is hiding.

[ Rory Reagan is one of Gotham City's Vigilante ]

Jonas's expression changed when he heard the information supplied to him by his Eye Fear God.

" ...young man? "

But after hearing the apparent vigilante calling him out, he decided to calm down and relax. Yet, he still appeared nervous as an actor because he was Theodore Morrison right now the skittish and frustrated high school working student, and not the creepy Jonas Cane son of Gotham Wealthy Elite.

Smiling nervously, Jonas replied.

" I'm not here to sell something, Mister?... "

Jonas trailed off and Rory Reagan took that as a cue to introduce himself.

" Rory Reagan. "

" Mister Reagan. I was interested in looking in your shop and looking for something of interest that I am interested in buying perhaps? "

" I see. Usually, people who came here would sell their things in my pawnshop junk shop and not buy something. But feel free to look around. Just tell me if something has caught your interest and call me but I would just go to the second floor and take care of something. "

After that, Rory Reagan left and Jonas frowned as he look around. His Eye Fear God have informed him the Rag'n'Tatters. Not because there was something unusual in the shop. Jonas realizes that it has to do with the fact that Mr. Rory Reagan is a vigilante.

Jonas find out that he recently liked discovering new things and information about different things. But his eye fear God casually revealing that Mr. Rory Reagan's greatest secret, being a vigilante– it drained out the excitement of discovery within him.

His eye fear God is a spoiled sport.

Jonas sighed as he decided to pick up the very creepy doll. When Mr. Rory Reagan came down, the man frowned at Jonas's choice but decided to not comment about it.

Jonas then bid his farewell and then decided that he would discover Mr. Rory's vigilante identity before his Eye Fear God decided to spoil it.

Later when he arrived at work, the manager of the Iceberg Lounge Restaurant when saw him bringing a very creepy doll. He was reprimanded and asked to leave it in the employee dressing room. Jonas complied since bringing a creepy doll while he was serving as a waiter to the customers is detrimental.

After his work finished on Friday, it was already 2:00 am, and one of his co-workers asked what is the name of his creepy doll.

Jonas then decided to name it Annabelle. Not after the name of the Cane Family Ancestor but from something vague in his past life which he can barely remember.
