Is there a reason the village was empty the other day? [Everyone keeps talking about a "missing day", but that's not an answer. ...not that he expects a good one.] And something else— Where do you go when you want to get away from someone?

[He doesn't bother filtering that last part. Why bother? If he wants to ragequit his house, then dammit, he will.

Kind of like today. In order to get away from the general annoyance that is his house, he is reading quietly in the tea shop. Surely no one would expect to find him there, right?!]

What do you mean "dying"?

A while ago, there were people complaining about finding animal corpses in the forest. I don't know what, but something was killing them.

[areyoumyfriend]

I haven't noticed anything out there. Perhaps I should be more careful. [She says this in a rather flat, almost dismissive tone, rather than a frightened one.]

[Voice]

[holyknights]

Maybe it's already gone. I haven't heard anyone talk about it recently.

[Voice]

[areyoumyfriend]

Sounds like it was just another animal.

[Voice]

[holyknights]

I don't think it was. It sounded like someone was doing it on purpose.

[Voice]

[areyoumyfriend]

Huh. How pointless. People should pick on something that can fight back.

[Voice]

[holyknights]

Tell me about it. The animals here are annoying but there's no point in killing them.

[Voice]

[areyoumyfriend]

Maybe someone will find who's doing this and make them pay for it.

[Voice]

[holyknights]

I hope so. Anyone who thinks it's okay to do things like that should be punched in the face.

[Voice]

[areyoumyfriend]

At the very least.

We'll probably hear about it sooner or later. No one here knows how to mind their own business anyway.
