Dgr +1 Frk +2 Sav +1 Sup -1 Mnd 0

"Aww, man... Thanks anyway...." Even though Dusk's response didn't hit the mark for Calvin, he still deflated like a sad whoopie cushion. The old geezer was supposed to say: "why, yes, m'boy, of course I remember your friend's name!" But why should anything in Calvin's life be that easy? It's not like he could just reload the save point from before Max got taken. There were no cheat codes out of this one. So... what the heck? How was he supposed to beat this level with no strategy guide? What would Weiss Ophidius do, the main character of the manga that he was writing? What would Lady Gray do? Why won't anyone tell Calvin what the hell he's supposed to do!?

Calvin winced like a dog might with fleas when Earworm started whispering into his mind. He reached out to scratch the back of his head on instinct, slowly digging his nails in deeper. Before he could get too lost in the struggle, Temperance reached out to pull him back to reality with a simple hand on his shoulder. The hairs on his neck shivered like a wary cat before he relaxed into the familiarity of their friendship. This may have been a momentary courtesy for her, but it meant the world to him.

"Ha! Back at 'cha, Tem!"

And just like that, both Temperance and Ben were drifting away from him. Temperance was talking to Dusk, sure. But Ben was being taken away from the group by his jerk of a dad? "Yeah. No sweat, man. Is there anything we can do to back you up, or...?"
