The dots on the screen construct was simple math for Halix, having his plan going entirely in his favour— after all he did say it earlier, it was a win-lose situation.
Looking at the map, from the position he'd met up with Rfrien. If one were to line up the angles, the soul he was heading to had a bearing of 045° Northwest, while his laid perfectly to the east. Thus, though Rfrien would get there faster than he would reach his. The fact was about returning to the dense areas, as he'd get back three times faster than him— a solid plan.
Moving as fast as he could, he had 10 miles to cover to reach the soul while returning wouldn't be much work. His plans did also have a possibility of flopping, yet leaning to the positive side was much of a better way to tackle it.
