The town decides to go through Sandle's (Z's) hut in a search for last minute clues. They discover the stash of handmade shoes, one for each member of the town. The townspeople fall silent. When Sandle was in wolf-form, he did terrible things to the town, but the gift of these shoes allows the people to remember him as he was in the daylight, not as the monster he became in the moonlight. As they hand out the shoes, they ooh and aah over the pair made for Joander. Sandle left a note attached to them. Apparently, they are a new kind of shoe called a Flip-Flop!
You're a mean critter sometimes little girl. Let the boy be lynched with as much dignity as crushed dreams and really tacky shoes will allow...
