Outside the room came that terrible sound, like wood and carpet disintegrating. Arthur slowly turned around, and his heart turned inside out.

The Eraser stood in the doorway—a blackness that burned darker than the nothingness behind it. It had erased the hall, severing the room from the Manor. It was just Arthur and the Eraser now, drifting through the static. Its starry body pulsed as its eyes, jittering and chaotic, stared at the book in Arthur’s hands.

Of course. The Eraser was still trying to find itself. First, it had tried to acquire the dragon-bone Quill, hoping to write itself back into existence. Next, it had returned to Garnett Lacroix’s old adventures, hoping to fill the void within. Neither had worked. So now it was looking for the very last place where the Gentleman Thief existed. This copy of Thieves of Weirdwood.

But if the Eraser had erased the Merry Rogues, it would erase this book too.

The Eraser didn’t move from the doorway. It seemed to be hesitating. Arthur remembered calling the Eraser by its true name, Garnett Lacroix, making its eyes flash golden and its head swoop into the Gentleman Thief’s hat before it briefly became corporeal and fell through the clouds.

Arthur hoped the Eraser was still afraid of him.

“H-h-hello, Garnett,” Arthur said, unable to control the tremble in his voice. Shaking, he held up the book. “Looking for this?”

The Eraser blurred toward him.
