Zach and Yanael almost got lost once when they were closer to the Academy since the trail through the forest was not as obvious at that point. But he luckily caught sight of the Academy's tall buildings through the trees and followed them out of the forest and back to the campus.
He walked slowly to the infirmary, afraid of what was waiting for him there. The sooner he arrived, the sooner he would get the bad news.
He had seen Nessa. She hadn't been in a condition that people lived through.
But he had to face it. It felt like it took an eternity, but at the same time, he arrived at the door to the infirmary before he knew it. He vaguely remembered seeing an antsy Millipede outside.
He tried to take a deep breath, but a lump blocked his throat. Light-headed, he opened the door and found the others after looking around.
