"I haven't seen Eldrie since yesterday afternoon. Why, is something wrong?"
Those words hit Barns deeply. Suddenly, Yunie wasn't just 'not around'. Now, two of their citizens were missing.
"Maria, we need to find Eldrie right away. Do you have any idea where he might have gone?"
She's surprised by the panic in Barns' voice. "Tell me what happened."
"Yesterday, Yunie and Eldrie were seen heading to town together, but it sounds like nobody has seen either of them since. She didn't show up to work. Sounds like Eldrie didn't either."
Maria furrows her brow, vexed. "Don't tell me…" she says aloud, her doubts bubbling up to the surface. "Do you think his memories returned?"
"Anything's possible. We need to find them. Now."
Maria agrees, gathering her things together. She was doing some more reading in the library, but this took precedent.
"And where's Osmond?"
