My head was awash with emotions, and Iona was in my arms as Diamond took us back to the city. I didn't know what to do; Maxine was gone. I would have to find her now in the next game, but that still didn't stop the feeling we both felt when she died.
I was connected to each of them, and when one died, I felt it happen like it was me. Not the pain but the emotions; it was like payback for my failure to keep them safe. The world and storm blurred around Iona and me as we waited.
Suddenly we burst from the storm and reached the invisible shield. The girls were waiting there for us, suited up.
//Dave, is everything alright?\\ -Sasha.
I almost broke down again, but I pulled it together. Diamond opened up and lowered, making a step with his hands. I walked out of the suit, and it started to shrink down as I stepped off the last hand, carrying Iona's limp body in my arms.
