The air is crushing.

The Knight is looking at Lemm. After the utterly dismissive gesture, the Knight is not seeing Lemm. They're seeing--seeing a cicada warrior who boldly, brightly greeted them as soon as they crossed paths and who they rescued from her own mistake and desperate terror by complete accident. They're seeing the first being in Hallownest who fought beside them gored through. It's really everything I could have ever hoped for--

It's not the same. She wished for that. Lemm does not. But Cloth is another body among bodies among bodies.

Apologies for not wishing you like everybody ELSE in this fucking kingdom

They were going to keep going. The quill drags off the paper in a sharp, ugly line. They need to leave. They need to leave.

They need to LEAVE.


The world explodes in black.

The Shade Lord crashes to the ground no great distance from the smithy.
