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?

[empereurs]

I wonder too, especially since we collapsed the castle. [...] I hoped collapsing the castle would help people in some way, but he still seemed [...] sad.

[unironickylorenfan]

Oh. That's [...] disappointing. Like, unresolved business, almost. [...] Do you think you'll see if you can find him, again?

[empereurs]

I mean, who knows. Maybe this is an improvement from how he was pre-castle collapse.

[...] Yeah. I think so. It's funny to worry about him when I don't technically know the man, but I do want to know he's alright.

[unironickylorenfan]

True. Let's [...] go with that. A little more uplifting.

It's a good idea. But, be careful. Of course you know that. We don't know if he could be fine or still affected or in danger or what. So, worth investigating.

[empereurs]

Maybe I haven't seen him around until now because he hasn't been able to get himself out of bed before the castle went down? Ah, speculation is dangerous.

Right. We'll I'll be careful. If I learn anything more, I'll let you know.

[unironickylorenfan]

At least this rabbit hole is based on happy assumptions? But, yeah, won't know much until you've gotten a better look at him, I guess.

Thank you for keeping me in the loop. I hope he's okay. [...] You all tried to help him, and that should mean something.
