[The feed begins early in the morning, just before dawn. It's impossible to say who's recording, because all it captures is the sunrise. And it's beautiful; the colors are vivid, the day is cold and it makes everything that much sharper.

The sun climbs over the horizon at last and there's a flurry of dust across the screen. The PCD turns off when the feed times out.

[OFFLINE: a note to Raven]

Hey, Spatzi.

I need to speak to the Higher Ups. Hold it together while I'm gone, ja?


[It's not signed because, well, she'll know who it was from.

There's also a note to Alphonse, saying simply, 'Sorry. Watch after Negi'. The few herbs Johannes left that Horst recognizes are mixed into sachets for Killua, Kotarou, and Negi. It encourages dreamless sleep.

If your name is Tyki, you get a key to Horst's bar and a note: 'Help yourself.'

[Another few seconds of pause. He's breathing a little fast, the edge of fear bubbling up.

No. No, he can't have-]

[Any second. Any second now, he's going to pop up, give him that devil-may-care grin, a laugh.

"Got you!"]

[But he's not, and he's in the sunlight, and nothing is moving, and he's not talking, and he's not laughing and he's not there-]

HORST!
