Dearest the shadows I live with are numberless
Since the original notice of Titus's disappearance, Fuchsia Groan has lived in a fog. She's barely eaten, and hasn't spent much time in her room.
Unlike what many would expect, there have not been hysterics. Instead, she's cut herself off from everyone. It's not been intentionally obvious, more that she would be next to impossible to find. She's been sleeping in Titus's room most nights -- though she's spent a few in the attic. She keeps expecting to have Titus swan in and thus she has planned an infuriated speech for him. It's likely if anyone has heard her voice, it's been in rehearsal for that moment.
Fuchsia's always been able to find Titus in the past, but not now. She wonders if it has to do with no longer living among the Stones. Perhaps -- no that is a silly thought, and Fuchsia does try to not be so silly now.
Venturing out of her hiding places, Fuchsia's can be found outside. It's the last place she should be, given she's slightly under-dressed: wearing only her dress and an odd shirt over top of it. Those who look closely might recognize it as one of Titus's. Given that she's tired -- as much from a deal she made a while ago as from concern and not do anything to take care of herself -- it's likely that those who approach may get a portion of that rehearsed speech.
Then again, they might find the most miserable person in the mansion.
