The conversation depicted here takes place some time after "The Abandonment", a history-making event that ushered in a terrible light upon the world, the destruction of a certain nation, and the gradual and sizable emergence of Nephs.

The topic isn't anything big, but Moonshine is talking to a guy named "Pops" about what happened with Moonshine's family's old shack and trailer before it got burned. Specifically, several mysterious items left inside the trailer that Moonshine only came back for. Pops couldn't care less, since Moonshine was a runt who seemed to revel in the fun of silly practical jokes and tells lots of Tall Tales, i.e., he lies a lot.

But, Moonshine, though he still lies a lot, is just cutting straight to business. Gunnar seems to be apprehensive around the rat, but can't really expound on the specific reason.
