As Jared was let down into the chair he let out a sigh. He lifted his left arm and unfastened the clips on the mask. He didn't like this at all. If only he could have gotten a few more steps away, he wouldn't be showing himself to anybody. He pulled the mask from his face and set it aside, revealing his true self. He struggled with his jacket, having trouble taking it off with one arm and the other one not responding. "S-sorry," he stammered, "for all the trouble. A-and the mess," he finished as he looked the trail he left. Just then he flipped a small panel on his chest and pulled out a tiny vial with neon blue fluid in it. He flipped open a lid to a 1inch in diameter hole just above his right clavicle and poured the fluid in, waiting for the fluid to take effect. "I never wished for anyone to see me like this."

Terra started to stir, but not much. Her eyes slightly opened to see what was going on, but everything was still a little blurry. Her voice was soft and weak, barely even audible. "Have you seen Ander?...Did he make it back?"
