Fitz

Fitz sat on the bed beside Keefe's, eating Prattles after Prattles from Elwin's not-so-secret stash.

He remembered what he had told Sophie and thought, What the heck, I might as well.

He threw his empty Prattles container at Keefe's head, hopeful for a second, but the hope snuffed out again as the Prattles bounced off without a reaction from his friend.

Figures.

He thought about the last time that he had been there on that cot, sitting beside Sophie's, monitoring her dreams, and he spread his consciousness out towards Keefe's mind.

It didn't feel like any mind he had entered before and became slightly uneasy, but he kept reaching until he got to where he could push in through the wall to Keefe's mind.

At first, it was dark.

Empty.

But then a wave of memory shards flew towards him, the colors mixed up and the sound jumbled.

No, he thought, No, no, no!

But there was nothing he could do.

His best friend was broken.

Sophie

The moment she heard those words she ran, channeling energy into her legs and sprinting through the void to Foxfire.

She vaguely heard Sandor yell, "Hey, wait!" but it didn't matter. Nothing mattered anymore except for Keefe.
