[Not that he would ever wish for any of his friends or family to be brought to this terrible place, there was still a part of Crowe that was jealous of the others here who had people they knew here with them. He has just been hopelessly homesick since he got here, and getting an item from home sent to him only seemed to make it worse. He knows he could never handle it if they ended up here only to get hurt or brainwashed.

Passing through the living room on his way to school - today he was going to walk with Ryohei to show him where it was - he catches the broadcast as the TV seemed to have been left on.]

W-what? No... no it can't be! They couldn't --!!

[Voice post to all non-drones.]

What is Westport?! Is this some new game they're playing with us, or have people neglected to tell me about it until now? There was a news report… my friends… it couldn't have been them… they looked like…_{how could they do that to them…}

[His voice quivers towards the end, trailing off before he ultimately hangs up. Anyone at his house will find Crowe staring at the blank screen, looking defeated.]

... you're too nice to me, Mr. Crane. [small chuckle] I just... I can't stand the thoguht of my friends getting dragged into this nonsense too. [He sighs.] I'll look into it. Since people have heard this town mentioned before, maybe we can get some clues about what might be on the horizon for us now.

My thoughts exactly. If the only purpose to go is for the reconnaissance alone, our purpose is for the safety of others and not only for our own. Getting too personal with those we watch brings a danger that could cause many problems later.

Now, when is this picnic held?

[That can be taken a few ways. He thinks on it a moment.] Right. Um, I think the report said Saturday. So we really need to be careful then.

[He's only close to those he works with and he loves only one person but he keeps that secret.]

Yes. You'll do well. Keep your eyes sharp.
