ELIOT TO THE RESCUE
Let's be real, this is Eliot. He didn't sign up for anything and told himself he wasn't going to get involved, but with the disappearances this is his way of low grade checking on people and seeing how they're doing. (That cursed karaoke trick is probably only going to work once for seeing how people are doing mental health-wise.)
If you light something on fire or something isn't going right, or just need an extra hand, Eliot is there to help you out.
