[Armin tries to look professional, but this liminal has been trying, in a number of ways. He keeps his face neutral, but he looks tired - and there's a tension to his expression, just a hint of sadness.]

I have the list of those Travelers who are no longer with us. To be clear, I am only including Travelers who have been here for at least a jaunt. There are too many who both arrived and vanished in the last couple weeks for me to include them all, since I never met most of them. If anyone wants to know whether somebody who showed up during the last couple weeks is still here, however, I can find out.

Nicholas. Istas. Elliot. Byerly. Zatanna. Mikleo. Doujima. Robin. Neeshka. Hal. Sorey.

[He goes quiet for a long moment, before continuing on a different vein.] Most of you will probably have noticed, but this liminal space seems to be messing with our heads - making people more cynical and paranoid.

Eldritch defenses work against this influence.

I'm not sure exactly what this means, but we should be on guard. However, I have searched thoroughly and I can find no trace of the King in Yellow's sign.

It's not paranoia - it's common sense to be cautious about so great a threat, especially one we know so little about. It's possible Naoto knows something I don't and isn't sharing it with everyone. But from everything I know, we have no evidence one way or the other to say whether it will return.

I'm not asking you not to trust her. Simply... stay wary. Even if she's right, we know beings like the King exist, and he appeared with little warning. Besides which, there's some eldritch influence on this liminal space. That's it's one we can't identify isn't terribly comforting, to me.

When you put it like that, yeah. It's not impossible for another threat like him to appear or him to return despite the Trumps interfering.

Well, I'm not going to lose my mind over it and worry all of the time, but if I spot anything suspicious, I'll contact the network - or you directly.
