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.]

...Do you think we've bitten off more than we can chew?
[It's not like Yusei to sound so defeatist. Maybe this is getting more to him than he lets on.]

Yusei briefly wonders if he's counted among them.]
I doubt that version of you intended to lie down and die either, you know.
[It was a few weeks ago, but remembering that sight is still...chilling.]

[Yusei grimaces as he says that.]
You feel it too, don't you?
[This place...how its starting to get into their heads. How it's starting to feel like they're arriving to where they should have been all along.]
