...yeah. He lived out in a cabin in the woods - the same one I was staying in, before this.

[Which only confirms that yes, Howl isn't there anymore.]

It's ten miles out from town, and it didn't have electricity back then. He lived off the land, for the most part. Hunted his own food, took care of the house and the land on his own. He made this dandelion brandy...I never asked him how. I wasn't one of his students, not like Peregrine and her friends.
