Case #4: You Leave Without a Trace

[feellikejumping]

Has anyone seen Chris Skelton lately? He hasn't been at our flat or shown up at work. I'm starting to worry.

[Police Filter]
Do we even have a department for missing persons? I've exhausted every other attempt to contact him. Was he on any case that I'm not aware of?

Sam, right? Sam-from-the-same-world-as-Chris?

He's gone. Portrait's in the Hall of the Missing and everything. So... you know, that's good, because that means he's home.

[feellikejumping]

Yeah, have we met?

2/2

[feellikejumping]

Wait, what did you just say? Chris went home? How???

[horrible_penny]

Not exactly, but Chris talks about you sometimes. I'm Penny. His girlfriend. Or ex-girlfriend.

Sometimes people leave. It's just the way things work here.

[orangetoughguy]

Learn anything yet?

[feellikejumping]

Just that there's a lost and found I wasn't aware of...

[orangetoughguy]

You mean the Hall? I ain't been here too long, know it but never went in.

[feellikejumping]

I'm a bit more interested in just how they got home. They must 'ave done something...

[manofgnee]

Wait. Chris is missing...?

Oh no.

He...he might have left...

[feellikejumping]

Left... to where?

[manofgnee]

Home. Sometimes, the City just...takes people home.

[feellikejumping]

Yes, but how? What do I have to do?
