After half of an hours of traveling they have arrive to the Van Williams mansion and once the carriage stop Rafael open his eyes...And look at the window...

As he catcha glimps of the mansion an urge of feeling home was passing at him like a wave...Although he wasn't able to stay long he still does somehow miss the place
