[ Ellana keeps it short and sweet. ]

Does anyone know where Clayton is? Or have you seen him before lockdown last night or this morning? He left here yesterday and after lockdown I left him a message to see if he found shelter, but he didn't answer.

[ There's a pause, and when she speaks again, she sounds resigned. ]

I was just hoping there might be an explanation before my mind goes to the obvious one.

[ That he didn't make it inside before lockdown and now he's dead. ]
