There was still some time before 6 PM. Faye Yardley patted the cat statue and went outside to find Willow Yardley. She thought they could keep each other company while fishing so it wouldn't be so lonely. She also wanted to try jumping into the sea herself, if she could.
When Faye found her, Willow was holding a fishing rod, her eyes fixed straight ahead, completely still.
"Willow, are you reading the public channel messages?"
"Yes, Faye. You can take a look, too. Also, a member of your private group, Wade Warren, seems to have run into some trouble."
Instead of having Willow share her screen, Faye Yardley opened the group chat herself. She scrolled up a bit to find out what had happened to Wade Warren.
