(When, in this entire game, has he ever demonstrated that he listens to anyone???)

And plenty of treasure, too!

[malewife]

… Treasure?

[ Like real treasure. ]

[cranelike]

A set of treasures for each of us, I believe... though, we couldn't keep the first one. As for the second one...

(He pulls out a bottle of sugar,)

I think it's a type of medicine.

[malewife]

… Like a health potion? Or more like an antidote.

[ Joonghyuk scans it, obviously curious. ]

[cranelike]

Hmm... I've never seen it before and yet, I know it's for certain conditions. Fatigue, frostbite, heat sickness... I don't think it can be used on injuries.

(He'll let Joonghyuk have a closer look if he wants but he won't let him hold it or anything. Joonghyuk is not allowed to put his hands anywhere on Tsurumaru or his things ever again, okay.)

And we found a note in the shop, too.

[malewife]

[ He doesn't need to touch it, okay? ]

What was on the note.

[cranelike]

Let's see...

(He doesn't have it with him! So he'll remember the best he can,)

"These windows between our worlds, that we opened with our greedy hands, have so foolishly been left open. And so we are all punished for that hubris, as the spectres take all that we are."

[malewife]

... So the spectres are a part of a consequence, then.

I had always thought they were natural predators of this world.

[cranelike]

I thought the same thing. Everything in the last city made it seem like they were natural... they had alarms and shelters; an entire system in place already.

But maybe it this is all more recent than we thought.

[malewife]

That city showed its history of worshipping the angels for some time... Did you notice any wear on the note? It could possibly talk about the past.

[cranelike]

It was old and worn... and whoever wrote it had nice writing.

If you want to see for yourself, Kotetsu has it.

[malewife]

[ He nods… ]

We’ll most likely see it again when people gather to discuss. Whether everything will come to light or if we’ll have more questions who knows.

[ With that settled, he kind of broods cause well people are still missing. ]

[cranelike]

(He makes a face at the idea of everyone gathering but doesn't fight it. Instead, he focuses on the new mood,)

Troubled?

[malewife]

[ Does birb not want a gathering. Anyway, yes. New mood. ]

… There are some people missing.

[cranelike]

(Sometimes birb just has other plans to surprise people that don't involve long meetings that could be emails?

But ah, Tsurumaru tilts his head to one side. He looks surprised?)

For how long?

[malewife]

Since Wednesday night.

[ Which should match up with CYOAs, but where are they?? ]

[cranelike]

Could they be on an adventure, too...?

(Crossoing his arms into his sleeves,)

Who are they?

[malewife]

... That is what I am thinking.

At the moment, I only know for sure that Kim Dokja is missing. Some I'm not as sure.

[cranelike]

Have you asked our masked friends if they know?

[malewife]

I have and they claim to not know where they went. Only that they feel close, but also far.

[cranelike]

(...)

Are you going to keep looking?

[malewife]

Yes, searching for them or anything else that might be helpful. There is nothing else to do.

[ He will just end up pacing around the city until he's trapped somewhere is what it is. ]

[cranelike]

I'll help.

(He's volunteering himself.)

We can cover more ground.

[malewife]

I thought you disliked me.

[ He isn’t stupid to not notice and also Tsurumaru is not subtle. ]

[cranelike]

Do I?

(He tilts his head to one side,)

Hm... It's true, I can never forgive you for your actions but when I see a human like you, I can't help but want to do something.

(A person in trouble, that is.)
