With Zephyr's warning, Gil began to look more carefully. The people he saw moving about were too perfect. Too organized. The worst part was, that the more he paid attention the more he noticed things standing out. There was not a market. The stalls open selling food were perfect and untouched. No one was stopped buying a single thing. they just wandered about.
Even more, when Gil began to look at people closely, they would step away and avoid walking past them. "Alma, look at all the fire spirits. There are SO many." Gil emphasized this, making Alma look around. She saw that Zephyr was defensively waiting on Gil's shoulder which was radically different from the free flying wind spirit she usually was.
