Solving another Dreamfolk's problem is the closest to a productive use of their time that Antarcticite has come since their arrival in Aifaran. Yet the more that they search, the more probable it becomes that they will fail at this task, and find themselves at another loss for what to do with themselves.

It is strange, and unsettling, to feel superfluous, like they are not needed. As strange as it is to be surrounded by so many strange faces in this warm, alien world.

Nevertheless, they resolve not to give up the search for this Bakura person until they have searched everywhere on this strange archipelago where a living person might take themselves. Currently, it appears that their search has brought them through one of Aifaran's seedier neighbourhoods, and while they are not in any danger, the dangerous elements that do inhabit this part of the city mean that the locals are not interested in loitering in the streets to field questions from a weird-looking stranger.

"Get out of here," someone brusquely tells them before shutting their door firmly in their face. Antarcticite startles some as they step backward, before scowling determinedly down at their yimo. Whoever this Bakura person is, they will be relieved when he's found.
