The following day...

The heroes are definitely thinking about their encounter with Vialett the night prior.

Fiola: "Now we know something's up. It's too coincidental for Vialett to show at our front door."

Emarah: "Y-Yeah, it's bizarre."

Clous: "But it'll at least save us the trouble, right?"

Rez's face is concerning.

Rez: "Maybe that woman wants all six of us."

Clous: "Yeah, but for what?"

Emarah: "We don't even know what she is!"

Fiola: "All the more reason to be careful."

They all lock gazes.

Fiola: "Whatever she's after, it can't be good."

Rez: "Well said."

Clous: "So what do we do? Do we just avoid the Pyros entirely and ditch Vialett?"

Emarah: "If we do that, we may be putting more people in danger."

Clous: "So we're stuck playing the hand she dealt us?"

Rez: "I'm afraid so..."

Meanwhile...

Vialett is blankly staring out her window, thinking about the night prior.

Vialett: "(in head) The chances of dealing with that woman rises by about 20% if I go with them, but I doubt my father would be pleased if I left with a group like them."

A knock is heard at the door, but Vialett pays no mind to it.

Vialett: "(in head) But if I even run away with them, would we even come back alive? But if I don't run, a monster like what they described will attack the town and there will be many casualties."

Her father enters the room.

Vialett's Father: "Vialett?"

She isn't paying any attention to him.

Vialett's Father: "(sighing) Breakfast is ready."

He exits and closes the door behind him.

Vialett: "(in head) Should I stay? Or should I go?"

However...

The woman is sitting atop a large rock overlooking both the sea and town.

Woman: "This sea breeze reminds me of back home."

Her eyes are flickering with vague memories.

Woman: "(sighing) I wish I never joined them. I could still be living those days..."

A black, liquid like light is seeping from her palms.

Woman: "Or maybe have died living those days. Either would've been fine."

The light seeps into the ocean and sand.

Woman: "Maybe these people could've been our successors as well..."

She disappears into a black light...
