It took Izzy far longer than it should have for her to find the square. It was her fault for not paying attention when she had been running away earlier, but she couldn't help it at the time.

She stumbled around, avoiding people as much as she could while trying to recognize any landmarks that would help her find her way. She was looking for the [i]town's plaza[/i] for God's sake, she shouldn't be having this much trouble.

After a few more minutes of somewhat aimless wandering later, she heard distant yelling and cheering. She picked up her pace, knowing she was close. A moment later, she found the entrance to the square. There was still a decent sized crowd, but it was far smaller than before.

Standing on the statue at the center of the open area was Haunt. Izzy was hit with a wave of relief, and she pushed through the crowd hastily, no longer caring about politeness.

It was kind of strange how happy she was to see him. All she knew about him was his in-game name - nothing more. But he was the most familiar face in this new world, and that was all the reason she needed to keep moving forward.
