Inexplicable fear
The first family Mary visited shared a puzzling story about Bruno’s inexplicable fear of certain individuals. “He was absolutely terrified of our neighbor, even though the man never did anything to provoke him,” the father said, his tone laced with bewilderment. Mary listened closely, carefully noting the unusual details. “Did you ever figure out why?” she asked. The family exchanged uneasy glances before the mother replied, “No, he just always seemed scared.” Her words only deepened the mystery surrounding Bruno’s behavior.

Anonymous threat
During her visits, Mary encountered another family who revealed they had received an anonymous threat demanding Bruno’s return. “One day, this letter arrived,” the woman of the house explained, handing Mary a crumpled piece of paper. The note was short but chilling, warning them to send Bruno back—or face the consequences. “Did you report it?” Mary inquired. “We were too frightened to act,” the husband confessed. His words only strengthened Mary’s resolve.
