- xxxxxHe snapped. That's what they said, anyways. Nobody really knew what happened to Oreste d'Aramitz: why he suddenly disappeared one day. Instead, the hushed rumors flew around the city. He committed a dastardly crime, maybe, and got thrown into prison. Maybe he was the victim of one of the recent murders. Or, perhaps he'd simply left Treviden without telling anyone.
xxxxxIn truth, Oreste did snap, but nobody's guesses could come anywhere close to the real story.

xxxxx"It's okay, Yvaine. My dad wouldn't have minded, so I don't mind, either."
xxxxxOreste was, by the age of seven, already a pretty level-headed kit. It would seem that, after losing his father, it would've been expected for him to be the one breaking down on his first day at the orphanage, with the other children trying to console him in a lonely new world. Instead, Oreste was putting his hand on the shoulder of a girl, about his age, who'd introduced herself earlier. Just a moment ago, she accidentally swung a door open, hitting the pendant that sat on a string around Oreste's neck. It broke into two distinct pieces, a million tinier ones flying out in every direction, scattering just as dust in the wind.
