On May 27th of 2017, the apartment of reporter Elliot Reynard was investigated due to his prolonged absence from both work and social life. Testimony from neighbors said that he had grown isolated and quiet in recent weeks.  According to one woman, the last person seen coming from his apartment wore a wide brimmed hat and long coat, not unlike those worn by The Dark Hats - a pejorative term for citizens of the city of Nighthead.   The only other clue to his whereabouts was an article, of sorts, saved on his laptop.  It was dated only a few weeks before his disappearance and describes Reynard's most recent work.
