“There are rumors that some Items do remain when their owner decides to get out of dodge. Really important things, things that really change a No One’s status. Apparently Reggie’s keycard was a found Item, transferred down from No One to No One until nobody can remember just who exactly started with it. The Emperor’s Book and Vase also seem destined to stick around, if the old guy ever gets bored.

“Any other questions, champ?”

“No thanks. Have a good day, Alan.”
“Yeah, see you tomorrow,” Alan said, waving a small goodbye before finishing his fries.
