At Hotel Dusk, secrets surround the guests and employees. In a single night, as the mystery unravels, Kakashi discovers the connection between these secrets and a truth that has evaded him for three years. "Room 215, the Wish room…Maybe there's some truth to its name after all. I had a few of my wishes granted last night, but I can't be greedy. Someone like me has a lot of wishes."

Smeagol has never gotten along with Sam, "the fat hobbit", and so it leads him to planning all sorts of ways to kill him. These range from absurdly elaborate ideas to simple ones such as tossing him into a river. However...he never follows through with any of them. Written in a journal-type format.

After Bilbo accidentally met up with Gollum, he found the One Ring and escaped the hungry creature's clutches with it. But he left behind sadness and hollowness. Smeagol was left to muse about his own "mad world".
