It's pitch black here, though the ground is made of dirt and the Tower gleaming in the distance provides at least a sign that light exists somewhere. It's completely silent. It feels as if things might jump out at you--but that's probably your imagination.

"It's hard to explain," Xion replied, grimacing, "It's always looked like she sees him like a little brother. But if he realized what's going on..."

He wouldn't be as likely to see her as an older sister or a friend anymore. And if he tried to confront Ruana... The notes they'd gotten from Dax had predicted that Zo already was powerful enough to stand up to Ruana alone. But Xion still didn't like the idea of him doing so. Something about it scared her.

She definitely wasn't going to argue with the need to hurry. "Yeah."

As she had never witnessed Ruana's behavior with Zo, Hilda had a hard time imagining the one behind their imprisonment in the tower and the destruction of their worlds as anything but a monster.

"A lot of things are different from what they look like and we are living proof of it." She looked at her wireframe hand. "You told me this Ruana has been lying both to us and him about the virus. Her affection for the boy may just be another layer of deception. But I shall pray for his sake that you are right."

With this being said, Hilda turned to the distant tower and started walking along everyone else.
