Well… that was strange. I mean, I guess I’m not really one to talk, huh? But in my defense, I didn’t exactly come to the Cafe for an interview. I came in because a hazmat-masked madman was trying to kill me. I never even thought the Cafe and Diner was the kind of place you could have an interview for, you know? But I guess No. 3 made an exception for Brent... who, by the way, I’ve never met. And from what I’ve heard, I’m not sure I want to.
Anyway, about this newcomer… they’re kind of strange. From what I gathered, they had a… haunting? Something similar to what No. 161 and No. 53 saw at Collyer Brothers Park. Basically, Brent’s employee went into the freezer, the door locked behind them, and they saw the numbers “112” appear on the glass before they passed out. While they were out, they had—well, I guess you’d call it a vision? But I’ll let them retell that part, so I don’t mess it up. The important bit is what happened after they woke up: a mysterious woman handed them a book.
The Revised and Reanimated Bardo Thodol.
Yeah, the same book No. 53 found in the grass. Seems like these things are popping up all over New York, especially near sites that seem to be haunted. Unfortunately, like our copy, the newcomer’s book is completely blank. I wonder if we could track down the woman who gave it to them? From what we’ve heard so far, these books usually just appear—no one’s handing them out. Long Beach is still trying to track down Mr. White to get answers about these weird books, but maybe the woman the newcomer saw was Lana?
Either way, this newcomer is definitely tied up in this whole haunting mess, and after what they saw, No. 3 wants them on our payroll—especially if they see anything else.
