[ That's not the greeting he was expecting. ]

No. What's the matter?

[callalilies]

We were in the restaurant last night when we were locked in.

[ he folds his arms. ]

This morning he was gone... but his guest book entry is still there. Unlike Cloud's.

[shaft]

[ He's silent for a moment. ]

Have you checked the cemetery?

[callalilies]

Nothing new is there at the moment...

[shaft]

What about his animal companion? No sign of it?

[callalilies]

When we woke up, Jin was in hysterics. She was upset...

[shaft]

If his guestbook entry is in tact, then he must be somewhere in the hotel.

At Wiwaldi, there were always two other individuals who woke up in unusual locations the same morning the body was found. Did you experience the same?

[callalilies]

Only in a few cases.

And during one... we were too late. [ his expression tightens ] She died right when we found her.

[shaft]

[ his brows furrow ]

... I see. I can keep an eye out and ask around then.

[callalilies]

[ he nods a bit ]

The fact that Cloud is dead is... unpleasant. Especially because we just returned from that shit trip...

[ ppl rly just do that. kill other ppl that went on cyoa. ]

[shaft]

... Yeah. Though he follows the pattern that I'm more familiar with.

Hopefully he got some hits in with that giant sword of his.

[callalilies]

I'm hoping that as well. All he had on him was a dagger during our adventure and he still managed to kill... most of the things that tried to kill us.

So he likely made his mark.

How we find it is going to be dependent, I suppose, on wrangling everyone's cooperation.

[shaft]

I think most of us are fairly cooperative?

[callalilies]

One can only hope that doesn't change when we step into whatever is going to be our courtroom tomorrow.

If he did injure someone, they may not want to take their clothes off... I've seen him fight, he's brutal.

[ in a good way! ]

[shaft]

[ he nods... distracted. ]

Sorry, I'm thinking about Dokja. Where did you all stay last night?

[callalilies]

The Restaurant... It was myself, Diluc, Hua Cheng, Rin, Joonghyuk, and Dokja.

[shaft]

I see.

[ thinking ]

I wonder of it's related to Cloud, or if there's another reason he's involved.

[callalilies]

Perhaps...

[ he sighs ]

Has anyone found anything else?

[shaft]

[ He shakes his head. ]

Bucky mentioned being forced to play... musical chairs? In the lobby, but I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean.

[callalilies]

Tomorrow is going to be a nightmare. Amazing.

[shaft]

That tends to be how it goes. We'll just need to be vigilant.
