"... not all monsters look like monsters. There are some that carry their monstrosity inside."
-Fredrik Backman, "My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry"
Tracy, Misrey, Trumthor, and Ritroq were standing just inside Ezra's house, discussing their next move if the creatures gathered outside went berserk. No one knew where Ezra was, hadn't even heard from him, and they were all restless and tired and scared. They didn't have enough power to hold them off from the Gate, yet didn't have the stability to stop themselves from going as insane as the rest.
