Sixty-Ninth Theory [Voice]

[Yesterday the village grew quiet, as many villagers were called on a draft, and many others began the anxious wait to see if their friends and loved ones would return to the village safely.]

I could fix things around your house?

"Fix" things? [He looks around the "parlour" area he's sitting in.] I d-don't think there's anything... wrong?

[He gasps softly: Unless there's something Don's noticed that he hasn't...?]
