Howl has been extremely depressed ever since things ended with him and Sophie. He hasn’t talked about it with you. You’ve only been his live in maid for about a month now, and you don’t see much of him. All you know is that they were very close, and that things ended terribly.

“Do you think Master Howl will ever come down from his room?” Markl asks you a bit worriedly. He misses Sophie too, and he’s just as confused as you are.
