Good morning, esteemed guests. You had quite an eventful weekend, didn't you? Let's see how you're able to move on now...

As you awaken on Monday, you’ll find that things are just as they were the night before. The kitchen will serve piping hot breakfast during the morning hours, the pool’s been stocked with fresh towels and the gardens are open for anyone who wishes to spend some time among nature. However, should you explore a bit, you’ll find that a few new changes have been made to the hotel itself.

Your room service menus are still on your desks if you wish to browse before leaving for the day.

The front door no longer spins endlessly, for one thing. Should you make an attempt to exit the hotel, you will find yourself entering a new location. Some of you may even find this place familiar. However, you will find that upon entering the location, the area to the north is fixed to one place.

In addition, should you enter the elevator you will find a new button appears, proudly reading 05. Pushing this button will take you to a new floor where you will also find a few new areas to peruse. Explore to your heart’s content, get to know more of the hotel, and take your time in learning more about each other.

After everything last week, you may feel like it's time to put all of your feelings back inside and bury them away. You were...affectionate? How embarrassing for you. Perhaps that's something you'd like to forget. Conveniently for you...that may happen to you this week. Throughout the week, guests will find that they will experience small instances of "loss" occurring to them. You may find yourself losing certain memories, certain skills, or even certain senses. Don't worry, they will always come back after a while! But it seems that these instances come and go without warning. Hopefully you can prepare yourself for that.

Finally, for those of you with a spare ticket in your pocket, feel free to visit the Starlight Gift Shop, stocked with new items for this week.

I talked to the staff about this. My understanding is that the bodies going missing is not related to anything, or a particular cause for concern.

... I don't know about that last part, but I don't expect them going missing now to be relevant to things either.

Yes, I think it's not relevant.

... Right. Wouldn't make sense for it to be proof of anything that might have happened in the past.

[Holds up a page of the notebook that has SUSPICIOUS written on it. But then also:

What if the dead can't get back in the way they arrived because their bodies are gone or in pieces, huh?]

[ these are shinobu's sentiments, too. ]

Eh, a body is pretty easy to replace.

[You offering yours then?

This is why he can't talk, he runs his mouth too much.]

They can have mine if they need it.

[Cuts a glare at her that is just like No.]

What. I don't need it, it's a fleshy prison. If they can't get out without a body and they need one, I'm the best candidate for it.

[Covers her mouth with his hand but kind of grabs her face a bit. He shakes it. No. Then he points at Harrow and Molly.

They can have theirs since it's so irrelevant.]

How about no one give away their bodies.

[ gesturing at his face. ]

It's a bit beat up around the wheels.

[rude.]

Well, that would be very unfortunate. Not likely, I think, for several reasons including that I know more about necromancy than you do. But it would indeed be not ideal.

However, I'm only telling you what I know, which is that their disappearance is not relevant to this discussion.

[Literally came back from the dead.

The fact it isn't relevant is what's suspicious.]

I've broken my arm, so I know more about medicine than a doctor does...

[anyway.]

It's not suspicious.

[Makes a grand gesture as if to say this is actually true and not the sarcasm she is making it out to be.

He points at his eyes with two fingers. Watching.]

At least I can talk.

[He shrugs with his hands like the jab doesn't bother him.]

[ he's surrounded by children. ]

Jason's right that we don't know for sure what's necessary for them to come back or not. Rules on that change all the time. But there's no point in worrying about it when we don't even have a way for them to come back yet, and the bodies going missing isn't a deep plot of the Nightman.

My body disappeared at the school and I came back fine.

[Though he also turned into a stone, so like. who knows.]

[You can't play your cards here thinking it's going to be the same game as your last one. It won't be.]

Have any idea how to get their bodies back?

[Shakes his head.

Your guess is as good as mine. Too late now probably. Going to have to bank on it not mattering.]
