Hunched back and dejected, Noe slumps back towards the hall. Feng Mian and Rosalind's robes drag behind him. Grappling onto Daniel's arm, Noe spots Ghost Girl towing the man away towards a place unknown.
Blind and deaf to the flow of Daniel's soul, Noe's worry immediately snaps him out of his stupor. Speeding up, he links behind them and follows their lead.
"How long will this expedition take?" Rosalind whines from a little away.
Feng Mian points to Ghost Girl, "Who's that?" her large, round eyes surge into Rosalind's.
Without pause, Noe continues onward.
Past the rubble and dilapidated buildings of desperation, a blue and red signpost is seen rising up from the horizon:
THE RIDGE PUBLIC SCHOOL
However, where behind it stood pride and joy, there is only a wasteland of ored nightmares, broken dreams, and detritus coffins.
From where they stand, the dome's lead barrier is visible.
"Nehruma."
