After his delayed return to the Ficlet site, codename: & is appalled to find his lack of investigative inquiry so prominent. He feels even more shame than Lone Writer seems to have expressed, despite regretful shame not being Codename: &’s intent.

He wished little more than to post a humorous Ficlet with a concrete back-story, though he feels his intent has been skewed by slight misinterpretation.

He, however, pays silent respects to lone writer.

“Touché”, Codename: & whispers to himself, as he leans back into his chair and ponders his next move.
