Do you remember the man that my squad saw in the Shadow World castle? The one who was locked in the dungeon and turned to ash upon entering the cathedral. Lenore said that he probably wasn't a real person, and given that Squad 1 also saw that same man in the dungeon, who also turned to ash when they tried to rescue him, that's likely true.

But... I saw his face yesterday, in town. He looked just the same as the [...] entity in the Shadow dungeon, but he wasn't crying. And before you ask, I don't know who he is. I didn't want to bother him. He seemed dist But... it seemed worth sharing, just in case.

I don't know what to tell people about the articles we found. If anything. Everyone's already under enough stress.

[...] Would any of you want to help me find out more about this man?

Right. I'll think on it. Maybe Community Outreach is doing a fundraiser? No, wait, he might actually give us money.

Maybe a project for school. Ask him his name and whether he's a Haling Cove resident. Say we're doing something with population statistics?

Yes! Or ask if he's lived here his whole life and say it's for something about local history/ethnography??

Yes. Honestly, I think we could get away with asking people a lot of random questions if we say it's for a school project.

As long as we sound competent and do a little work to seem legitimate. We should write actual questionnaires and carry recorders and relevant books. We'll be instantly trustworthy in uniform too.

Oh, good point! If we do a little prep work, it's hardly stalking at all, it's educational!
