[He doesn't fold under the intensity of the gaze. If anything, he looks unimpressed.]

What about it?

[recrowns]

Who or what happened to it?

[he doesn't remember rufus looking like that yesterday??]

[soulus]

I can't recall.

[recrowns]

That's unfortunate.

[to say the least]

Did you wake up with them?

[soulus]

Yes.

[recrowns]

Inside your inn room? Did your roommate have them as well?

[soulus]

I was at the railroad station.

[recrowns]

[a beat]

Why?

[soulus]

It didn't matter how late we were out until yesterday.

[recrowns]

Are you normally at the railroad at that hour?

[soulus]

Is that a problem?

[recrowns]

Not a problem - I just feel like I'm learning about you.

Are you waiting for a train?

[soulus]

I was observing for changes. The hours aren't consistent.

[recrowns]

Ah, well that's good to know. Thank you for checking.

[a beat, then thoughtful - ]

Was anyone else with you? May I ask what happened at 11 PM?

[soulus]

I was alone. The door locked behind me.

[He eyes Soo-won. And himself?]

[recrowns]

Indoors - I normally retire in my room by that time with my roommate. I was still awake, but the door locked. I wasn't able to open it, but found myself suddenly asleep after some attempts.

[so that wasn't

great]

Though I didn't wake up feeling any differently, or with any injuries.

[soulus]

Was she with you?

[He means Ange.]

[recrowns]

Ange? Yes - otherwise I would've gone looking for her. We normally run on a pretty reliable schedule.

[they get along!]

[soulus]

[He's sure they do.

Speaking of schedule . . . ]

The doors may lock again tonight.

[recrowns]

Will you be at the station again?

[soulus]

Does that matter?

[recrowns]

Yes, so we don't need to repeat our conversation if I see you with more scratches on your face tomorrow.

[soulus]

I won't.

[recrowns]

Where do you plan on going instead? Maybe you should get to rest on your bed tonight...

[soulus]

Where I go doesn't concern you.

Rest assured. If anything happens tonight, you will hear about it tomorrow.
