Once more, Marrie found herself wandering the empty streets of Pax. 

[i][color=00aeef]How detestable.[/color][/i]

After all that had happened just over a week prior, the girl's mind had been running almost nonstop. She still didn't know what happened to the others who had been there, but it didn't matter too much what actually [i]had[/i] happened.

'What matters is results.'

But these were not worthwhile results. Yes, nobody [i]in Pax[/i] was getting hurt [i]in Pax[/i], but everyone else was presumably still in danger. And who knows what happened to the others when they disappeared?

Not to mention... what about everyone who wasn't trapped there, like 'Ms. Webber' from the fight at the Golden Trove? Was she just getting more and more prepared for their return while they pissed away time here? Sure, a vacation would have been nice, but...

Marrie shook her head. Even so, she couldn't shake the feeling that this wasn't some sort of magical overlay, but rather an alternative world in a similar shape. One in which it was always [url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MUnZWUC6-vtLkHquSvTa5gVitjEr_JzRpABjWf8Jd_M/edit?usp=sharing][color=d9d9d9]a certain season[/color][/url]. In which case...

Her thoughts were knocked from her head by a Visitor, a goat man, asking her if she knew where to obtain dye. What was this, minecraft? And more importantly...

He looked a lot like the goat man who had been at the fight. Was that a coincidence that there were two, or were they related? She decided that this, too, didn't matter. 

What did, potentially, matter was the fact that his comment implied he hadn't been in Pax for very long. Did that mean he'd just arrived? Did he know what was going on outside? And would asking that directly be dangerous? She didn't know.

She supposed she could ask one of the other humans, but... that didn't seem very appealing, honestly. With how her mind had been this past week, she figured any interpersonal interaction was going to bomb, badly. 

Marrie fell back into reality just as the other Esper mentioned [i]him[/i]. That's right, the shark who had caused all this. 

Yes, he had saved everyone, or at least most of everyone, who had been in the fight. But that fact was outweighed by the disappearances of those who didn't play along. Maybe they were safe and sound, but she couldn't bring herself to believe that yet. And so...

[color=00aeef]"That's right. Maybe Dan'll have a spare red set for you. Better than getting sent to who-knows-where, right?"[/color]
