Warnings: Discussions of trauma, kidnap, torture likely. The usual.

Nightshade was at the concert.

Gongenzaka told him, because he was worried too. He was part of the patrol, so he'd take that information to every important source, probably. Yuya's less worried about what she wants with the carnival, or Wismuth, and more what she wants with one specific person.

So he goes to look in the morning, skipping breakfast to show up at Strange's trailer door with his staff in hand. He's not as harried as when they escaped the manor, but it's hard to completely smooth out the worry in his brow.

He knocks rapidly. "Mr. Strange? Are you in there?"

He really hopes he is.

Strange is in there. He opens the door after Yuya knocks...and the warning signs are already there. His clothes are rumpled and they're the same clothes Strange wore yesterday. His hair is ruffled as well, the sort of messy that comes when someone's slept on it funny and didn't brush it afterwards. As he looks down at Yuya, however, Strange can't help but smile, a gentle little smile.

"Ah, hello there Yuya. Come inside—I've got a pot of tea brewing, if you want."

And so, Strange backs up for Yuya to enter. The trailer is still fairly clean but his desk is a nightmare: papers are scattered all over it and a few orange phoenix fruits hang out in the corner of his desk.

Though, he hasn't seen the staff before. Strange frowns, looking over at the staff as if realizing it for the first time. "By the way, is that staff new?"
