[Crowe dreamt while he was... dead? Resurrecting? He was back home with his friends and family, but they couldn't see him or hear him no matter how hard he tried to talk with them. They were going about their business oblivious to his presence. After all, he'd been in Mayfield for nearly 9 months. Had they missed him? Looked for him and moved on? Did they even notice he was gone?

Crowe's eyes fluttered open, and he was surprised momentarily to find himself in bed. His cat was dozing on the windowsill, and stirred when his master did. He jumped on the bed along side him. Crowe absently pet him as he thought back on what happened yesterday afternoon.

The hazmats showed up inside home. He finally just lost it at them, yelling at them futilely when they suddenly lunged after him, axes appearing in their hands. While working with Ema on the bunker in the basement when he heard something making noise upstairs. He went up to investigate, and 2 minutes later he was dead on the kitchen floor.

He only hoped the hazmats left the rest of his household alone. That Ash wasn't the one to find his body. And now he needed to warn everyone that they weren't even safe in their homes. Hopefully it wasn't too late.]

[Action: Some time in the late morning, Crowe wanders out of his room. He's looking to make sure Hol and Ash are alright. If Mukuro ran into the hazmats... well, he could handle himself.]

[Phone: Crowe's voice is quiet.]

Everyone. You're... you're not even safe in your homes, alright? The hazmats.... They came in to ours. I didn't touch them and they killed me anyway. Lock up your houses, and if they come in, just get out of their way. Don't confront them or they'll just turn on you. Just stay out of the way. Get to your basement or something.

...


I-Is everyone alright? They didn't... hurt anyone else, did they?
