It gets harder to believe, but be honest

[Crowe's hit stage four, though like most, he doesn't realize this. He's frustrated beyond belief with this little event, and makes a call that starts out as some venting with innocent enough intentions. He's been telling people all the bad things about himself, and learning things about his friends in town he isn't sure how to deal with. Surely, not everyone in town is a murderer or something, right? There has to be other things we can all confess that aren't as harmful. Unfortunately, he starts to fly off the handle thanks to the effect.

What comes over the phone is pretty much one long run-on string of nonsense.]

L-Look, Mayfield, n-not everyone in town can h-have such terrible things to admit, r-right? I'm so sick of all this! I know we all want to admit things, s-so why don't we just pick stupid things? L-Like things that any people might be hiding, n-not stuff like murder a-and death and...

W-Well, like... Like how our drone mother's cooking was a-actually really bad but I felt bad telling her. Plus I'm not very good at cooking anyway. O-Or how I am failing art class both back home and in Mayfield because I-I can't draw to save my life! I-I also really hate clothes shopping. M-My friend Minnie always said I was a boring dresser, but I don't care. A-Also once right after I got here, I stole a bunch of wallets from people j-just to see who was paying attention and who wasn't. B-But I don't want to do stuff like that! I don't think. I-I'm really good at it but I think I want to be a-a detective, but my parents won't approve. Criminals w-won't want a detective for a son! My dad wants me to b-be a thief with them o-or be a pro footballer, but I-I don't think I'd be good at that. I've never been in a league before! S-Sometimes, when I get really mad, I-I curse in Italian, but I can't help it, i-it just happens. I-I think Silence i-is one the most gorgeous guy I have ever seen, t-to the point where I don't even know h-how to talk to him! A-All the nations a-are really cute too, b-but I thought about it, a-and that makes sense, I-I mean i-it would be hard to have pride i-in your nation if they had l-like buck teeth or something! A-And I always thought Norway w-was the cutest and that reminds me, I-I am g-getting really sick of everyone I know getting droned a-and coming back forgetting who I a-am! Also h-have I told a-any of you how much I stammer wh-when I'm nervous and how bloody sick of that I am--

[There's a horrified squeaking noise heard from Crowe, and the phone is abruptly hung up.]

[Well, a certain someone feels a real jackass! Of all the things Mayfield could have done to him, nothing was more embarrassing than his villainous escapades around town as a phantom thief. Oh god he left calling cards and everything, what was he thinking?

Crowe will be skipping school today in order to return all his stolen goods. If you had an encounter with him during his costumed crusade, he'll be stopping by your place to return and apologizing like mad. He'll be anonymously dropping off the stolen goods from the stores he robbed downtown, too.

...except for that stuff he gave to Norway. He's going to leave money for that. H-he seemed to like that watch so much.


Feel free to approach him when:
- he comes knocking on your door looking mortified, carrying a bag of goods.
- he's climbing up a telephone pole where he left the sweater he stole from Ren. He'll never forgive himself for that one.
- walking around town, on his way to various houses, looking like he kinda just wants to crawl into a hole and disappear. He can only hope he remembers who everything belonged too, and that everyone doesn't hate him forever.

Also, when he gets home, he's surprised to see a package has been left for him. Upon opening the large crate, Crowe finds it's full of all of his favorite books from home - mostly classic literature, but most importantly, his Sherlock Holmes collections.

He sits back on the porch flipping through them, and laughing in a tired sort of way. It was like Mayfield says "Sorry for murdering you twice, killing your friends, burning down your house and making you look like a complete idiot to the entire town. Enjoy your books!"]

Is... is this the sort of topic this town talks about frequently? It's, ah, it's not a very proper thing to be talking about with the whole town like that! There may be children listening....

Plus, uh... plus... _{I believe them to be overrated anyway.}

[The phone is hastily hung up!]
