Summary
"What therefore God hath joined together in human and daemon, let not man put asunder." (Mark 10:9)
Jonathan Sims, six months after the Unknowing, wakes to find himself without a daemon - without humanity, without a soul. It's a cursed half-life, but existence as a shell without a heart isn't so bad: between solving the mystery of a persistent illusion cast over his friends and some light pseudo-cannibalism, a life as a monster is better than no life at all. At least, it would be, if it wasn't for the fucking Owl.
Or: break free, Jon. You have nothing to lose anymore.

Summary
“I haven't been here very long either, actually," Martin admitted. "I inherited the farm from my grandad when he died a few years back, but I only moved here at the beginning of the spring. I had a job, and my mum… well, it was a bit far to move, you know? You should have seen the place when I came up– it was a bit of a wreck, honestly, a real sad sight– but I'd like to think I've got it cleaned up at least a bit now. But there were some outbuildings already on the property when I moved in. You know, a chicken coop, a well, that kind of thing. I thought I might as well try to rent out the old farmhand cabins, see if anyone would be interested in moving in. Not like I'd be using all that space by myself, you know?"
Jon nodded. Did Martin always talk this much? "Well, I do appreciate it. I'll try not to be too much of a bother."AKA, Martin inherited Blackwood Farm and decided to rent out the farmhand cabins. Jon, who has just graduated from University in Zuzu City and gotten a job at the Stardew Valley Museum and Library, moves in. Things go fairly smoothly for a few weeks until Gunther vanishes, along with the entire museum collection.

Summary
I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.
As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?
Kind regards,

Summary
Jon is apparently back now. Home from America and dressed in a loud Hawaiian print shirt and baggy cargo pants, his face tanned a shade darker than Martin remembers, accentuating the streaks of silver in his hair and the new crinkles at the corners of his eyes. Or maybe the crinkles are the same, but Martin never noticed because Jon’s never smiled at him quite like this, big and bright as a penny.

Summary
Martin is the proprietor and manager of a very discrete and fairly exclusive brothel situated between Belgravia and Chelsea. Blackwood House excels at special requests and pleasing any client.
Except for Jon, who probably has never been pleased a day in his entire life.
Despite that, he still comes back. It eventually begs the question: how do you solve a problem like Jon Sims?
