[ You sleep, the ground cold beneath your cheek. The ground is hard as stone, cold marble beneath a fine layer of dust that doesn't come anywhere near acting as a cushion. The dust stirs with your breathing.

He went out that door, the way we came in.

[He gestures to the west entrance, with a sinking feeling. He just fucked up somehow, didn't he.]

Jonah— I need to go!

[ He turns to run after his brother, calling his name. ]

Jonah! Jonah, where did you go?!

[ Yuma does his best to listen to the boy, but the sound in the walls catches his attention too — something moving, near, far, and disappearing. He lets go when the boy gets to his feet, but when he darts off, Yuma nearly starts to go after him... but the weight on his wrist stops him this time. Right... it's both of them together. III looks uneasy, so Yuma claps a hand on his arm. Somewhere that isn't buried under armor. ]

He'll be okay! [ Reassuring!! You didn't fuck up, III!! ] That kid sounded like he knew what he was doing, right? And they're brothers... they'll look out for each other when it counts.

[ RIGHT?? ]

You wanna keep going?

[No comment, Yuma.]

Well... In any case, I don't think we'll get anywhere by backtracking. We'll just have to have faith that they'll find each other and work it out.

[Yyyyyyeah. He's not going to bother elaborating on that; it's time to head further east.]
