The same fake peace.” “It’s boring.” “Because it’s boring every year.” “Wow. Riveting.” “What.” “You were thinking something.” “Well?” “Maybe I do.” “Finally.” “…What… what is this…” “…Oh stars.” “Rowan, shut up—” “I didn’t touch her. I swear. I don’t even know what happened.” “…You too?” “Why us?” “They’re not going to listen.” “Run?” “Good. I’m not looking for a partner.” “But whoever carved this… they’re not done.” --- J Y N X “What thing.” “Maybe I am.” “Didn’t say anything.” “True.” “I was thinking you look like you want to claw someone’s face off.” “Fair enough.” “…What did I miss?” “I didn’t kill anyone.” “Looks like it.” “Someone’s setting this up.” “No. They’re not.” “Run.” “This doesn’t mean we’re working together.” --- M I R A “It’s tradition.” “Ivory! We’re heading back!” “Rowan, stop. Let Ashen speak.” “It’s Elder Reed—someone found her!” --- R O W A N “You say that every year.” “Everyone—come quickly!” “She was at the Moonmeet!

Explain.” --- S L A T E “You’re doing that thing again.” “The… staring at everyone like you’re solving a puzzle thing.” “Grey fur under the claws! It’s Jynx’s!” --- R I V E N “Slate, calm down. We don’t know anything yet.” --- F E N N “There’s something else. Found near the Moonmeet site.” --- B R A M B L E “They’re running!” --- K A R N “Get them!”
