(The following chapter includes a song. Start the music when it is cued.)

Claire's P.O.V.

When we finished traveling to where they had taken Max, I sensed something... familiar...

Neolian energy.

While the others were speaking amongst themselves and looking for Max, I was investigating this energy.

It... it was calling to me.

(Play the music; parenthesis = voice, plain italics = Claire)

(I've been waiting for forever)

(Feels like I've known all along)

(You who I've been waiting for)

(Finally stepped out of the throng)

I followed this mysterious voice, which I am absolutely sure is beckoning me closer.

I am

Taking

A step

Following this heart's longing

Longing

Is this right?

Is this wrong?

This music throws me off course

This eeriness is making me doubt

It's like a warning

A caution to not listen

(Closer)

(You're almost there)

(Further than ever before)

(Take just a few more steps)

(And then your path will be fulfilled)

I simply can't stop it

It's like I'm moving not on my own

Will I like what's at the end

Of this tightrope that I walk

Mother, Father, Sister, Max

Guide me through this one more time

I look to you

Follow what's true

But can I really rely on all of you?

What is right?

What is wrong?

I'm just here to find identity

~~~~~~~~~~

That's right, people.

Another song.

And it breaks the fourth wall.

Anyways, what'll happen next?

Speculate in the comments.

Bye!
