"Our primary objective is to safeguard our spectrum against our adversaries,"

"And to achieve that, we harness the essence of souls,"

"Your father, in fact, excelled at this task,"

"He dedicated his entire life to serving us,"

"He came close to joining the spectrum, but unfortunately, he failed his leader by concealing the fact that he had a daughter with a mortal,"

"You see, we are of pure bloodline, and tainting our lineage goes against our traditions,"

"So... I'm truly uncertain why Mr. Sacreddane is permitting you to enter our family,"

"By marrying Taehyung, you will automatically become a part of the spectrum."

As Jisoo reflected on her conversation with Yoonah, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Yoonah's words may have been few, but they held a weight that made Jisoo realize something was amiss in the world she thought she knew. Gazing out of her bedroom window, she watched as delicate snowflakes gracefully descended from the sky. The scene appeared enchanting, yet there was an underlying terror, for this place she found herself in was far from reality.

A heavy sigh escaped Jisoo's lips as her mind raced with thoughts. The revelation that her father was not merely a regular human, but a soul reaper, like the others residing in this mansion, was simply too much to comprehend. How could he have concealed this truth from her for the majority of her life? The sheer magnitude of it left Jisoo utterly bewildered.

"Am I truly different? Am I a half-blood?" Jisoo pondered silently, her gaze fixed upon her reflection in the vanity table's mirror. The questions echoed in her mind, searching for answers that seemed elusive. Suddenly, without warning, Minho entered her room, causing Jisoo to startle and release a small sigh of surprise.

"Come with me," Minho commanded, his eyes unwavering. Jisoo nodded, her curiosity piqued, and hastened to follow him as they ventured beyond the confines of her room. As she trailed behind him, she clutched herself tightly, her eyes darting around the unfamiliar corridors of the mansion. She felt utterly disoriented, as if she were wandering aimlessly through uncharted territory.

Eventually, they arrived at a dimly lit room, its shadows casting an eerie ambiance. Jisoo's heart skipped a beat as she beheld the presence of five individuals within. Their faces remained stoic, devoid of any discernible emotion, sending an inexplicable wave of fear coursing through her veins.

"What on earth is this??" Jisoo's voice trembled with concern as she questioned. Minho swiftly clasped her arms, propelling her forward with urgency.

"HOLD ON!! WHERE ARE WE?!!!" Jisoo exclaimed, her words echoing through the air as Minho forcefully pulled her along. In that moment, Jisoo's gaze caught sight of Taehyung positioned at the far end of the stall, adjacent to the towering window. Wearing a mysterious black cloak, he stood beside his father. A surge of fear coursed through Jisoo, causing her eyes to well up with tears.

"Please, I beg of you, just give me some answers!" Jisoo's voice trembled with desperation, but her pleas fell on deaf ears. Minho swiftly approached Taehyung and his father, commanding Jisoo to kneel before them on the cold, hard floor.

"Commence the ceremony!" Jisung's voice echoed through the room. The trinity advanced, positioning themselves in front of Jisoo, shrouded in white garments that concealed their identities. Fear consumed Jisoo as she witnessed their presence, her entire body quivering uncontrollably. Their faces remained hidden, adding an eerie aura to the scene. Slowly, their arms extended, hands outstretched towards Jisoo, evoking a sense of impending doom.
