It's ridiculous, yes? Why, he's can't be dead. There's no way! It seems like a joke, just some sick jest at his expense. He's just remembering the story wrong. Where was he? What was he doing? He was.... He was walking into the manor through the door in the kitchen. He had recently exchanged bitter and sorrowful words with his beloved Cosette. She couldn't be with him for some reason or another. And he went to bed. But...

But that can't be right. He slept soundly that night. It had to have been a week or two after the break up. But that gap feels too long. Scrap that, start over. He was going to bed at the usual time but was woken up by a noise. Or was he already awake and heard a noise? Was there a noise or was he shaken awake?

Gah! The memory is getting fuzzy. How long has he been here? How long does it take for memory to fade? Is he forgetting something important or is he ignoring soemthign important? How did he even get here? Better yet, how does he get out?
