the last time we had a fireside chat was over three weeks ago

'What gives?'

MANDARC//
well Ma a lot has changed

MANDARC//
Mort died

MYRTLE//
Mort... died?

STRAUD//
I consider it my responsibility
He was still mourning his wife.
He thought the change would lessen his pain,
allow him to focus on raising his son.
