... Mm-hmm. He told me he was a merchant, and he did seem pretty clever... I could see something like that happening.

Though I wonder—what was Death doing in the village here to begin with? Were they meeting with one of us for a chat, and just couldn't go back once the fog came...?

It's possible... they were surprisingly amenable to coming back to visit, as long as we sent a crow first.

None of us knew the fog was settling in. I'm not sure if they did.

...

We can't ask them now. The crows are gone.

... Mm. Well, I can't blame the others if they want to lay low for a while, after their colleague was just killed.

If it was one of us... they might stay that way, too.

If it was one of us...

[...]

I suppose it's not out of the question, although I can't see why any of us would want to kill Aventurine...

...If it wasn't a human motive...

We're all a bit more than just ourselves right now, aren't we...

... You mean the monsters we're connected to.

... It's a possibility, huh. Not like we know much about these...

No, and I really don't want to think about it -- but the only thing more stupid is blatant denial of what's there in front of us.

If it comes down to it...

[frowns]

We might have to do something about them, you mean?

...

I don't know...

I hope not.

[ He realises the way he cut off makes it sound like he's implying something crazy. ]

I just meant that we might have to face some things we really could've done without.

...

But that describes everything too.

... I hope it doesn't come to that, either. [...] But you're right that whatever lies ahead is almost definitely going to be unpleasant, either way.

[momentarily, the words cochlea's destruction appear through her glove.]

Reality tends to be that way. Still, all we can do is brave it anyway.

Mm...

In the end, it's all the same...

We have no choice but to keep trying to figure it all out..

...

If you find anyone injured or acting strange, please let me know. We need to make sure everyone is doing alright.

[she nods.]

I will. [a pause] That goes for you too, by the way. If you ever need help or support or anything, just shout! I guess you can't take my word for it, but I promise I'm not a crazy monster right now or anything, so...

...

You seemed like how you usually are... some disquiet aside, but that'd be reasonable.

Yeah. I'll keep it in mind.

If you find any trouble, shout. It'll be hard to rest tonight.
