Brendan stepped out into the foyer, seeing all the others going to each other His mind was still mostly on everything he'd just learned, with whatever had been going on with Renee. It was still strange to think all the weird stuff that had happened could have been fromm one of these people. 

He turned back and saw Tony speaking with Millicent, saying something about everyone going outside. He decided to just go with the group, wanting to go back to Millicent but still needing to find Ralph. Brendan felt nervous at the thought of the whole group together. What if it was one of them? He trusted Millicent, and he wanted to trust anyone she trusted, but the whole group? Or maybe it was none of them. Maybe it was a staff, and there was still the mermaid theory. Maybe Brendan was freaking himself out over nothing. 

He spotted Ralph and tried to push his fears aside, waving to get Ralph's attention as he approached.
