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.


[Scout]

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

[Squad 4]

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

If the thing you saw in the Shadow World wasn't a real person, but a real person with that face exists in the real world, does that mean [...] pod person?

[opalescents]

Huuuuuuh weird?
I wonder if everyone in shadowland who has a face is in our world too.
But mostly I’m glad he’s not ACTUALLY ash. Or a ghost. Or whatever.

It was so jarring to see him. [...] He's here, safe and alive, so I'll just try to get some comfort from that.

[...] I'm not sure either, to be honest. I don't want to freak anyone out, but [...] seems bad to just keep it to ourselves. I know maybe pointing out how high the stakes are is good in some ways, but [...] I don't know.

Maybe just sharing the minimum is worthwhile? We didn't find anything that perfectly matched what we saw this past weekend, but things were clearly stirred up back then.
