Well, uh— I did start with frequent places you and the others would be when you all disappeared. I even checked back after Jon reappeared, and I saw no sign of you. But you’re right, in the end I failed the task given to me.

[Passed out under the desk is a good way to avoid being found though, which admittedly he wouldn’t be surprised to learn considering the collection of alcohol bottles scattered around.]

That said... I hate to ask this, but there are still others missing. Jon has no memory of where she’d been the whole time, and she said she can’t feel Laurie anymore... Do you remember anything prior to your return?
