[Leona mentioning Riddle comes as a surprise to Vil, but it's a distraction away from the troubling situation in front of them. While he quietly agrees it would be difficult to imagine Riddle in their current circumstances, it's also a reminder that one has to be somewhat flexible to survive in the resort. How many hours in these past months did he spend gaming or gambling just to avoid giving his body for basic essentials?]

It would help to know what caused this. From my experience with him, Deuce isn't the type to hide when he has an urgent problem.

[But Deuce had also been missing for quite awhile, so there was no telling how long it took for him to end up this way.]

I'm going to look for Azul as well. Even if he's another 'lawn decoration' by now.
