Penny's mind was spinning. What the hell is happening?
Osvaldo just called her penguin. That is the name he calls her when he's sane. Was he sane now?
It wasn't even night. And yet... he was sane?
Her theory said he only became lucid after sunset. He only ever spoke to her at night. So how?
Had he been pretending this whole time? Had he faked the madness just to make her do those things? A wave of fury rolled through her. Her fists clenched.
She stormed down the hallway, eyes sharp, breath shallow.
"Miss Penny!" Hughes called after her, her heels clicking softly on the marble floor. "What do we do?"
Penny didn't stop. Didn't even look back. "Everything will be fine, Hughes."
Fine? Hughes blinked in confusion. They had no food. No money. And worst of all, they are now short on staff. Staff. How could anything be fine?
