"At least you don't have to worry about bills here. Rooms are free, closets give you whatever you can think of, literally, and you can eat yourself to death in the dining room if you want to. People still keep busy, though. There are a couple bars and a diner, and plenty of people trying to do research and figure out what is going on."

That is, of course, is the more frustrating part of this whole scenario. At least at home, Chloe finds answers to her questions. Things make sense; people kill other people, and the motives can usually be whittled down to the basics; greed, love, or revenge. They aren't mutually exclusive, nor are outliers particularly uncommon. No matter what, though, every crime fits a procedure, every story follows an outline. It is Chloe's job to fill in the in-between.

Of course, here, that is nearly impossible to figure out. Concepts like motive, intent or justice have no place here. Nothing works the way it is supposed to.

"I'm not sure which is the bigger question either, honestly. I know that there's a theory that Wonderland actually thrives on our memories. As if we, I don't know, power it in some way. Which, I know, is not the most comforting idea. I don't think anyone is really happy with the stuff that goes on here."
