You found M. Halstead dabbling in fiction writing in an overpriced apartment in central North Carolina. You were looking for a graphic designer, but instead found remnants of various crafty hobbies and interests, a pile of swords, and an unread stack of books. You have uncovered no evidence of M. on social media but did eventually find the website mhalstead.com. You retreated quietly, so as not to disturb the artist (allegedly) at work.
