Day 80 - Locked and OTA

First thing in the morning - Locked to Klaus

Neal is gone. They brought him in from the cemetery and now he's just. Gone. A revelation like that and a rescue and now he's just gone.

Malcolm walks numbly into the ruined remains of the house Neal was decorating to make a park for everyone, that he had loaned in its early stages to Raylan to take Malcolm on a date, even though he apparently secretly loved him too.

He looks around. There are some faint remains of some of the murals on the bottoms of walls and the floor. He picks up a piece of pipe that seems to have broken off of plumbing from the upper floor and he starts just bashing it against the nearest piece of charred wall again and again and again and he screams and he keeps screaming.

Afternoon or Evening - OTA

Things that go bump in the night seem to be the town's go-to spook and Malcolm isn't convinced by it. It's gotten to the point that it feels like it's contrived. Yeah, yeah, he thinks at it dourly. You make scary noises and nobody's there. Learn a new trick. He's more worried about Raylan, who's clearly been spiraling steeply since the fire and he's worried about Doc, who was badly injured and he's worried about Ainsley's leg not getting an infection and he's worried about Klaus, who wasn't coping super well before the town burned. He's tried keeping all of his concerns, as it were, in the school house. He continues trying to fill Doc's shoes as provider. It sees him out and about around the town, sometimes dangerously trying to pry open a trap door in a charred ruin, because he knows Doc had a stash there. By the time darkness falls, he's back at the school house with his people.
