“Luna Jara, what’s going on? Why did McKenna look terrified this morning?” I hear Davis ask as I jog up.

Even from here, it’s obvious that she’s running scared, not like what we heard from Katerina a week ago or even what I heard from Jara last year.

As we stand there, they all move to sit at the entrance of the territory. I stand with Jara, as she listens too, so we hear it when McKenna begins to hyperventilate. We hear the thunk as she hits the forest floor.
