Welcome back! Before we even see the chapter title, let's finally get a little acquainted with the thieves who stole the initial pizzas from our heroine and her new friends. For what it's worth, this scene takes place about the time as when Chapter 3 ended. Same evening and everything. (This was almost at the end of the last chapter, but I felt the timing of putting it here felt better for setting things up after a hiatus.) ^_^

Not a lot happens, but there are a couple little details of note:

Rhys, the brown-haired fella doing the last call, reveals himself to be Frost-aligned by manually creating the stamp that will keep the unfinished leftovers fresh. We won't know the others' alignments for a little bit, but I generally would like to point these out when they come up.

Jude, the one with the headband and the scar on their shoulder (and the character in my avatar if you're reading this as it goes up) might look a little different from their last appearance. Maybe you noticed, maybe you didn't. But this is not an oversight. They mention something about a curse, but there's no elaboration for now. You may even be able to figure it out, but don't worry if you don't. We'll get to it. :)

And Bonnie, the redhead with the killer eyeshadow is the apparent leader and reminds her crew - and us - that they're not done. There's still more thievery in our future. And the next hit is the library where the main characters live, work, and learn!

There's also Arc and Harley, but they haven't said much yet. Well, Arc hasn't said anything. Harley, we'll definitely hear from a bit more next page, though. ^_^
