[ It was a normal night like any other, as Kid returns from working at the Clinic to Rotterdam. But as soon as he stepped inside #305, he knew something was amiss. It was his finely tuned sense of detail that told him something is no longer here. The little lived-in details were suddenly absent from the room, and a quick check of the first bedroom

So Crona is also gone...

My... friends Ange Serena and Kanonno seem to be no longer here as well.

The city seems to be sending more people home than usual. This is a good sign.

[demonicbookworm]

A good sign? ...I suppose you're right.

[grimreaping]

It doesn't help us or them to think of it as a bad thing.

[demonicbookworm]

I know. But I can't help feeling at least a little sad about those people's disappearances.

[grimreaping]

As do I. I'm worried about how Crona will react.

[demonicbookworm]

How he will react? What do you mean by that?

[grimreaping]

Crona is often discomforted by the situations he finds himself in.

Truthfully, you two are a lot alike.

[demonicbookworm]

I thought the same every time I talked with him.

And to tell the truth I was surprised how much we are alike.

[grimreaping]

You both try to hide parts of yourself.

...

..."I don't believe there's anyone in Splendor who isn't hiding something about themselves from other people".... isn't that what you said some time ago?

[grimreaping]

Yes, and this is one of the reasons why I said it.
