Narration: Many days later…
Flora: Hey, look! I can see mountains! We must be getting close to the mainland!
Trace: Eric was right, the currents made coming back a lot faster. Still, it felt way longer to me, especially after… all that’s happened.
Flora: Mr’eah… Speaking of which, how’s your cheek doing?
Trace: Oh, i-it’s fine. It doesn’t hurt anymore, but I figured I’d keep this on. Might help make me less recognizable in the village.
Flora: I still can’t believe Keith did that! What a jerk!
Trace: He was just upset. I don’t blame him.
Flora: Well I do!
Flora: Being scared and angry is no excuse to start lashing out at other people! Especially friends!
Trace: Sigh… Yeah, well, I’m the last person who can criticize him for doing something like that.
Trace: I just hope we can find something to help Natani, for both their sakes.
