I haven't gone to the hall of Missing but I've got reason to believe that I'm going to be living alone with Neith, my bugs and tons of plants. I don't want it to be true. I don't believe this is happening.

I don't really know what else to say. This must be a mistake. It's Christmas. There are presents under the tree.

Hey, um.....I dunno. S'Justin, yeah? He....hasn't been in t' work for a bit either. S'pose I could check for you? Or...we could both jus' keep not checkin'?

[chasingmorning]

No, I'll go. I just....I needed to say something.

You haven't seen him either?

[justcautious]

No...no I 'aven't. Sorry, love. People keep leavin'...dunno why it's this time of year...

[chasingmorning]

I don't know why things happen where and when they do. Justin would never mean it, never.

[dreamsofnoah]

Not Justin too!

[chasingmorning]

When did you see him last, Road?

[dreamsofnoah]

Days ago now.

It's certainly... certainly not the kindest Yule prospect, but fate has its ways, hasn't it? Mysterious, often, but... you'll not disagree that there are worse outcomes for your friends, will you? If anything, they might well enjoy the respite.

And the City papers did say that the place has a fondness for returning its people. For all there's to say, you might well be soon reunited.

I don't know. He's gone. And if he's gone to where he's been...I don't think there can be worse.

Thank you. I hope so too. This could be short, I could be making something of nothing.

[cry_reaper]

Oh, Shilo, I'm so sorry.

...I have plenty of room at my house if you don't want to live alone.

[chasingmorning]

....Do you think he'll come back?

[cry_reaper]

I don't know, I'm not one to ask these things. But if you don't want to be alone..?

[chasingmorning]

Can I come over tonight? I won't stay too long tonight. I promise.
