It still struck her as odd how she had so many physical sensations in a subconscious space."}]},{"type":"p","children":[{"text":"Suddenly, the sound of running footsteps returned her attention to the present. Xavia turned to see Styx sliding to a halt in front of her."}]},{"type":"p","children":[{"text":"âWhat happened? I felt a pull.â A memory orb floated past them. A particular dark memory full of blood and gore. âOh no. Why didnât you wait for me? We couldâve done this together.â"}]},{"type":"p","children":[{"text":"âIâ¦â Xavia gasped, still gripping her shirt.

For this.â She motioned to the cabin before switching gears. âI wish Quade wouldâve let you talk. To at least know I miss him. Thereâs so much that was left unsaid and itâs my fault.
