[Oh OK so.  That just happened.  ...Lucas listens a little blankly to the announcement before blinking a few times to himself.]

So, um.  I'm... kind of... still here... So don't worry!  ...I mean, not that it's really that important, and there are probably a lot of other people who are really gone, but.  ...Is there someone else named Lucas here?

[Today is a normal day.  Lucas delivers the mail, takes his rounds making sure his friends are alright, stops by at the malt shop... And yet, everywhere he goes, he gets nothing but dirty glances.  It's more than mildly confusing, and so it is that he ends up sitting on his front porch frowning to himself.  It's been a long time since he's done so, but eventually, he'll get out the yo-yo and begin to quietly practice some tricks by himself.

The rhythmicity of the movements makes him feel a bit better.]


((Lucas was wiped, so please respond as if he were fake!))

.......

Mr. Pemberton said nobody was replaced. He said it was all a trick.

[She isn't sure. Not completely...]

Mr. Pemberton might be right. I'm not completely sure yet, but... that might be what's happening.

But.... but why is it happening? They already took the power and the presents and the food! Why do they have to do this too?

...There's no good reason to, Mindy. The town... It's just the way the town is. I'm sorry.

There's never a reason! They do this all the time and there's never any reason for it! They're just trying to ruin the holiday and make everyone miserable....

I'm sorry, Mindy.

But there can't be a good reason. There can never be a good enough reason for doing something like this... It might be better not to have any reason at all.
