The peaceful times are over. Moloch von Zinzer was murdered, and Nine was sentenced as his murderer. Everyone in Cartesio knows that.
Although life goes on, it seems the town of Cartesio isn't going to forget the tourists' transgressions. Not only they commited larceny in the cinema, they also murdered and executed in their town! It's no surprise their hospitality towards the visitors has cooled down considerably.
Not only they're maintaining a tense cordiality with them, they also have started talking behind the visitors' backs. All kinds of rumors are starting to sprout, yet nobody seems to be willing to say it to the tourists' faces. Talking directly to most passerby makes them distrustful, and nobody seems to want to be in close quarters alone with them.
It's only matter of time before the relationship between tourists and Cartesio starts degrading even further.
In the lobby of the motel there's a few more brochures, and
the maps have been updated once again.

I dunno, don't you think they're a little too dead to be that anymore?

This whole place is a waste of time and space. I don't like waste.

How so?

That over there [jerks her head towards the mausoleum] has someone important in it, no doubt. But all this? [kicks the headstone again] If they weren't worth any real effort, don't bother. It adds up to all this wasted space.

[...What the heck does this toddler know about economics?]
Someone with somethin' big n' garish like that, maybe some kind of noble person. But all these other graves, maybe this is all commoners could afford?
["Nobles," "commoners." Said like these are just the classes that Are, and Clarisse should just understand what she's talking about. Thankfully, they're fairly generic words, but Millium's apparently not aware that not every world is as horribly caste-separated as Erebonia.]
They mean somethin' to someone. Just 'cause that someone isn't you doesn't mean it's not important.
