Harold had been pretty oblivious of the warring conflict that had been going on around him for the past weeks. He felt the tention amoung everyone, and he was relieved when those strangers left, but otherwise he had been conducting himself as usual. When the puzzle appeared under the glass dome he thought it was odd, but he quickly forgot about it.
That is, until one day when a large smiling man with a bag full of candy came and asked him if he and his puppies would like to go on an adventure. Harold, always up for something new, grinned with his sugar coated face and nodded.
Manny, for his part, had been preparing for this day for years. He did not believe, like so many others, that Here would last forever, and he feels it is his duty to be thinking ahead. Once he had been released from his prison and gotten his wits back about him, he started packing every single thing contained in his rooms and cubbyholes. Once done he selected a ring and asked the friendly widower who served as The Resident's hair stylist for so long to join him on his journey. He picked the young toddler because he realized that it would be easy for the boy to be left behind. If the boy had family waiting Manny would be content to part ways with his new bride. Finally he collected The Candy Guy (after a lollipop) and the unlikely troupe led by a toddler and his two dogs pilled onto an oversized bed. Manny reached for his lady with one hand and his bigger-on-the-inside bag with the other as Harold's fingers touch The Cube and Here is left behind them.
