Fei-fei is with that group of kids, right? They should know how to deal with him.

...Fei-fei worries me. I don't know what his life was like before he came here, but he has the old Chinese mark of a courtesan on his forehead.
And the way he talked about killing... I needed to check to make sure he hadn't gone through with it.
I'm still tracking down where he went - hopefully the cities will stay like this until I'm done.
