If Ryle weren't being all tough, she probably would have cried at the thought of being left here even longer and being separated from her other friends, but she couldn't do that. When Will said that they were friends and he loved them, she almost said something about cooties, but it wasn't time for trying to be funny. When the boys were on the spider, she gripped Innocentia's hand back. They had to get somewhere safer than where they were now. They could get in trouble for being near the monster or even near the wall. If anything, they would have brought attention to the escaping children.

"Don't worry, Innocentia, we'll be leaving soon. Since it worked for Will, why can't I make one of those monsters?" Ryle said with a hushed tone so no other could hear her but her friend.
