Poitr is stunned. Adrenaline had helped to hold off his emotions from the day and but this news seems to unleash them all, and more. All he can do is hold his hands to his head; that is, until he sees the girl is holding something out to him. He inspects it, and finds a medallion with a figure on it. He is not quite sure what it is, but he recognizes it as a symbol of the heretics.

Poitr isn't given much time to think. The first set of sirens is approaching fast, about to turn the corner.

Feeling sick to his stomach, he does something he might regret. He takes off his own necklace and places it around Ella's neck. He then takes the necklace from her hand and rips the ribbon that it was made out of.

"This pendant is yours. You ripped this necklace off of one of your attackers. You were attacked by shapesifters."
