After this, I and Zeke can only return to the next stage of our primary plan. It means finding Lizard and, if we could, other people who have disappeared near the castle.
A great bonus of visiting the car was that I had my phone on again. Using the mechanical timer that Zeke had in his equipment to time our path was far from convenient. I know my phone won't last forever, but I hope it will last until we finish this all.
It would be easiest, of course, to simply go to the past, to when Lizard and Leaf entered the castle and get Lizard there. But, considering that we already have Leaf with us, and have met Lizard before, the idea smells of too much time paradoxes than I or Zeke want to experience.
