It was morning and Ryan was still in his tent. Lawhey was waiting outside to give him the news. Atta came by and saw her brother standing outside, looking at Ryans tent.
"He doesn't bite you know.", she said from behind.
"I know it's just, the last time we spoke it was not on good terms", Lawhey said looking at the tent.
He turned around about to leave, then Atta stopped him.
"I just want to check on Shoto", Lawhey said.
"I think you'll do anything to avoid a confrontation. You should talk to him now, you guys can bond over a wounded comrade", Atta said turning her brother in the opposite direction. She pushed him towards the tent and watched him go.
He kept looking back as he went, he stopped right in front of the tent. He turned and looked at his sister, who gave him encouragement, in the form of a nod.
Lawhey went in a saw Ryan staring into the abyss. He was looking right at Lawhey but did not see him. Lawhey walked over and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Lawhey", Ryan said.
"What happened to Shoto, he's hurt really bad", Lawhey said waiting for reply.
"This activation thing worries me, haven't you yet reconciled with your sister?",Ryan asked.
"That is what I wanted to talk to you about. We have reconciled but we can't still go.", Lawhey said.
"Why not, you said we couldn't go, because you wanted to repair the relationship with you sister. Now you have, what is keeping us here.", Ryan voice kept getting louder and louder.
"Who, as I said before, Shoto is badly hurt.", Lawhey said.
Ryan then got up and walked out of the tent. Lawhey followed him, when he noticed they were heading in the direction of Ryans tent, he walked faster.
They entered and saw Shoto lying down, and Atta was taking care of him. Ryan knelt beside him, and touched the area where Atta was treating.
"He is hurt on the inside, Helton will know what to do. We are leaving", Ryan said
"He can't leave he is hurt", Lawhey said.
"I am fine, I can go. ", Shoto said.
At noon that day, the three of them set out. There was no gate that lead to Heltons directly. Since he lived on the outskirts of Applease, they decided to use a field gate to Applease. They walked to the Field Gate in Yooyi. They were people already there but they had to wait, for the number to increase before the keepers would open it. The Gorros were there but they still needed about seventy more. Shoto could not stand up right, he was in pain. He didn't want to use her name, but he had no choice. He walked over to one of the keepers.
"We need to get to Applease, we have urgent business. McLouise Associates.", the moment the keeper heard Mclouise, he signaled the keep and they opened the Gate.
They walked through and where in Applease.
Ryan did not know he missed the silence, until he set foot in Applease.
