"Hey. They are calling out to you."

Mado turned around. It was.... was... sonance something. Resonance?

"Dissonance, my dear."

Yes it was. However, she had did nothing, or close to nothing to save the others. Should she feel guilty about it?

"My dear, you would have accomplished nothing but drown yourself if you did try. And even if you managed not to, how exactly were you going to save all of them?"

Perhaps she should run away before the rest of the- Ah, too late,another one of the fellows had already called out to her, this time for tea. In the middle of the night?How...unusual. Mado sighed, and walked up towards the group around the tuna. The tuna was saying some rather unsatisfactory things, including something about a woman being drowned because they thought she was a witch even though she pleaded she wasn't a witch. Now that... that made her blood boil. Perhaps during the day she will pay a personal visit to the mayor, and get out more information about that woman. More about what set the crowd off, who exactly reported her of witchcraft, the location fo the drowning, the victim's house, etc.

"[i]We[/i] should pay him a visit." The gentleman corrected her. "Two minds are better than one after all. And you can do some persuading."

Yes... perhaps one of the things she can do is that...

"Where.... Where does he live?" Mado asked, after the tuna person left.

Her hand was in her pocket, running through her piles of pills and the old wooden handle in there.
