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.

Huh? Yeah, no, he's not. He's our boss, I just call him that. I don't really have a family, not like you guys do... most I've got is Al, my "sister," and that's only 'cause she's a part of the same series.
[She doesn't sound upset at that, per se, but... wistful, still.
But... hm. That's not the first time she's been asked that question, but...]
I mean, I like it okay, I guess? [She pauses, and her voice softens. Honesty.] ...I liked being a student better. But... it is how it is, y'know? I'm an Ironblood, 'til Gramps doesn't need me anymore.
[She doesn't outright say "no," but that's certainly not a "yes."]
