The entity known as Martin reached out to help. Surely, he searched and probed and turned over every leaf in Mithias' mind, but no trace that Stein had ever been there could be found... except in Mithias' memory of him having been there. How was that possible? Perhaps the code had already been withdrawn. Their unique bond, brothers in thought, spirit, and blood, made their communication immediate and nearly perfect.. only Mithias wasn't communicating. Mentally, he laid there, faded, and surrounded in shadows, crushed by defeat.
