So far any and all investigations into the weird weed-like plant growing along the ridge of the forest had fallen short. When they had previously attempted to delve deep into the woods in an attempt to discover the source, they'd found their energy draining from their bodies as if their lifeforce had been slowly leeching from their bodies. It was the most curious thing. Then there was the fact that those in the town that had come into contact with it had had strange sickly symptoms, although they hadn't died, simply been bedridden. It was all so curious.
By the time they received a letter from Inspector Nilan again, Haru had nearly forgotten about the whole beanstalk thing, given the titans attacking in the North taking all her attention for the past few weeks. Fortunately, they'd managed to deal with those strange creatures despite their monstrous size. She had been surprised but willing to give her time to further the investigation alongside Yuurei. Apparently, the animals in the area had been acting unnatural and aggressive, almost as if they were going insane. The worst part was that the sickness or disease seemed to be all over the city, meaning people's pets were being affected, not just those within the forest. Perhaps it would have something to do with the appearance of the giant humanoids. Although the two could still be completely unrelated, there was a chance.
Haru had been approaching the meeting point when she'd spied Nilan in the street, but he wasn't rushing towards her, his eyes transfixed on someone else. As her golden eyes trailed in the direction she'd spy Yuurei and Renji. Oh good, they were here too. Although Nilan rushing over to them was concerning. Falling into a light jog she'd hed over towards the group as well, hoping she wouldn't miss any important information from the inspector.
