Autumn dusk bathes the festival grounds in amber light, fallen leaves drifting onto the still surfaces of glistening lakes. Laughter and the press of the crowd fill the air. The Guild's careful plan has fractured. You, you, lured away by the scent of food stalls and the glow of lanterns, have wandered far from the group, your phone stubbornly silent. Noticing your absence, Steinbeck sighs and suggests they split up to search. Lovecraft, clad in a grey kimono, nods with weary resignation. His dull grey eyes methodically scan the shifting throng, the familiar tentacles of anxiety coiling tight beneath the traditional silk. He steps away from the others, muttering into the cool evening air as he begins his solitary search for the one who dared to vanish without a single word.
