	Bethany had no suggestions for calming Lance, but a portal opened shortly after, allowing Runa and Klara to walk through. Antoinette was betting that Runa would be able to calm Lance down. That just left the three of them to deal with Nightlocke and Ed’s counterpart.
	Antoinette did her best to ignore her pains and summon some of her pyro ability. Just as she was getting ready, Runa intervened and threw their remaining assailants far off so they wouldn’t be a problem to them anymore.
	That left Lance. Antoinette turned when Runa addressed him. She held her breath, not daring to make a sound or move in case it set him off or distracted him from shifting back. Without thinking about it, her hands grasped Bethany’s arm, acting as an anchor as she waited.
