A place, person, object, time of the day/month/year, story, etc. that is somehow related to the ordeal. Any anniversary of March 25-26. Time does he...

http://sayrinasquill.blogspot.com/2009/10/hey-i-have-something-i-want-to-tell-you.html

Not necessarily true, but not a bad guess.). Crisis supp...
