CAVERN.

[Another encounter with the Shimmer, another round of confusion, frustration and exhaustion. It's probably going to be a fairly unanimous opinion, but Page much preferred the circle of peaceful corpses over the tree of suffering.

She emerged from the river just in time to hear what the Shimmer had to say, and it leaves a bad taste in her mouth. But regardless of feelings, it's probably wise that they don't move away from this cavern for the time being; the fire, remnants of that horrible tree, is providing light and warmth. They couldn't really ask for much more, especially after spending the past week in darkness.

So Page will swim back to the fire, placing herself in front of it and unwinding her headpiece, letting her locs fall free around her face. She's soaked, miserable and cold. As awful as the source of the heat is, she needs to dry off. The last thing she wants is to fall ill.

Not that it would mean much - sounds like a problem for her body. Wherever that is.

You're free to join her, or do what you will; time to rest, before the new week begins.]

Honestly, I keep expecting to run into another group. Either one sent in right before us, or right after.

[...yeah

They're two for two of finding groups beyond saving right now.]


I'm a little afraid of what might happen if we're all able to sit down and chat.

[...]

I knew someone who talked like the Shimmer does. Justifying travesties because "it's just what I do".

I hadn't...considered that.

[But he really should have. After all, they'd run into Wesker, right?]

You too, huh?

[Yusei grimaces, then corrects himself.]

Well, he hadn't justified it like that, actually. More of the "I'm doing this to save the world," type, actually. I'm not sure if that's better or worse than sheer indifference...
