Epilogue

In the weeks that passed following the investigator's trip to Loch Mullardoch and their time in the bizarre otherworldly city of Carcosa, life slowly began to return to normal, although it could never quite become what it once was. They had seen too much.

Despite the disappearance of his core subject, Dr Highsmith did publish a study on his newly coined mallady, Sympathetic Mania, receiving wide acclaim for his efforts and insights. Off of the back of his newly found fame, he accepted a position at the Tillsworth Institute of Pscyhology in London.

Leonid returned to his own practice, noting himself not quite so keen to delve into the sheer disturbances of the mind as he once was. Having glimpsed his own death, discussing it with others became a burden to him. He wasn't best pleased with Dr Highsmith's publication, though did enjoy the note within it thanking Dr Slutski and friends for their efforts.

Betty was back on the stay in mere weeks, performing a grand new play in a prominent role. She still suffers from visions an dreams, but mostly feelings of inaequacy. No audience she wows with her performance could ever top the focus of ancient creatures that had rested upon the troup on that balcony. She resolved to reconnect with distance family to bolster her constitution.

Grace is as business minded as ever, using her newfound insights in the mind to craft ever more attractive jewelery for a wider range of customers. Business flourishing, she invests in gold, finding herself particularly fascinated by its gorgeous golden tint. There's nothing quite like it. Such a rich yellow.

Eloise was the least affected by their trip and returned back to her taxidermy, finding new passion and excitement in some new avenues of work. She was particularly excited about trying to use the black material of the whistle in future designs.

Several months later, she would draw the group back together once again with her part in the exhibition on the Weird and Wonderful. Her bizarrely intriguing Amazing Fish Boy figure.
