Hourly Sinclair 🐣

T-Thank you, Captain Outis!

La Manchaland…

Look at this! Some kind of door has appeared next to him! Should we go through it?

The commander did warn us not to go further…

A-Anyways! This isn't our first Bloodfiend contract, you know? It may not be much, but we've dealt with them before! W-We don't deserve to get talked down to by you like that! Not one of us! …… …At least when it comes to fighting…

I let my reluctance hold me back when it mattered most. It's my fault.

We shouldn't go. We'll all die— we need to go back.

🪓: Maybe they're like lighthouses…? 🐣: Lighthouses? Yeah, I can kinda see that…

Why don't I just drive there, you ask? Um… I'm pretty sure going on foot and following Poludnitsa's shortcut directions would get me there much faster than driving would.

Ugh… I think I recognized like three shadows that look just like me…

🪶: What may be this pale, mucous membrane covering the entirety of this structure? 🐣: Some kind of mold… Maybe?

Ah, what a relief. That doesn't look like a pirate ship. That's…

🐣: Miss Catherine, she… 🐣: I don't want to speak so ill of the dead, but she seems a bit… 🧹: Yes, she was quite the character. And she could be a tad frightening, from time to time.

Is Catherine… the name of the person in this coffin? I'm sorry, everything feels so… foggy…

Uh, Outis…?

I… I just got an upset stomach. Sorry.

(There is some dark, ashen residue here. It's been wiped away, but it left its mark.) Ah… sorry, I coughed up ash onto the paper. I-It won't cause any problems, right? I wiped it just in case.

9:2

Ugh… Is it really necessary to go this far for food?

That means… the Tearful Thing is… no different from people…
