Chapter 2: Hunter and Gatherer is the third episode and the first focused on preparing for a job, not executing it. It introduces the opening monologue, Avery, a deeper approach to John and Morgan's relatiionship, and technically the first crime.

## Plot

### Monologue

Morgan discusses social struggles and vaguely mentions their first meeting with John.

### Main story

Morgan briefs John on a plan to break into Miguel's father's place of work and steal his address on a usb drive, allowing them to plant incriminating evidence which can be used to blackmail him into giving the fish back. Whilst John is uncertain, he agrees, and Morgan sends him to collect a list of supplies, while Morgan gets petrol for unknown purposes. Morgan steals a car, making sure to leave a note saying that it'll be returned, and drives to a petrol station on a distant hill. Both John and Morgan are shown trying to purchase their items and struggling to do so, with John coming to the realisation that Morgan is collecting chemicals to make chloroform. They eventually contact each other. This contact, however, is cut short by police arriving to retrieve the stolen car. The Chief chases Morgan after making an empty threat about his backup, and nearly catches them but gets his hand caught in a window. Morgan then slides down the hill, and begins running across a field, until growing exhausted and falling to the ground, rolling into a ditch. Hidden, Morgan removes the disguise and contacts John, who tells them that the job is complete. Morgan is shown walking home and speaks to John, recapping their plan. They have a short hug and the episode ends.

After a white screen, a segment is shown of Jane and Avery arguing in Elizabeth's house, with Elizabeth watching. Avery concludes that Morgan is not a threat and that Jane is exaggerating, just as the shopkeeper from the petrol station appears on a news segment on Avery's TV. Whilst the sinister description of the unknown car thief is unsettles all 3, Jane is the first to realise that Morgan is the perpetrator.

## Trivia

* Assault between two classmates is handled by school authority, making this the first episode to feature prosecutable crime
* Morgan's disguise was inspired by youtuber Memeulous
* There are two unused panels
	+ The first is of Morgan jumping into the ditch, cut because it looked "stupid"
	+ The second is a close up reaction of Avery reacting before she grabs Jane, cut because the lineart was "lost" until after the upload of the chapter was scheduled
