Merit is going to try to use Hayato to weed out vampires in Redhaven, and since Vanessa deals blood, she’d be caught up in the investigation pretty quickly. Beck is leaving town for a while, I was thinking Vanessa could seek her out and hide with her in Boston. That would free up Hayato to find and confront Evren and Aava, maybe set up a blood deal, while Vanessa and Beck can get to know each other and do the interview… OR Hayato can follow them and we can get some Yakuza drama. Or we can do something else! These are the ideas I’ve been sitting on, hbu guys? There are definitely a lot of different directions to go in from here.
