Thoughts

On a stone moss-covered path that leads deeper into the forest, Fausto follows behind Christopher as he stomps to wherever the ridge is. Rei lays down, still in shock from the premonition, on the beast's back as he gently sways side to side from his movements. The rocking motion of Christopher's steps has lulled Rei from her intense state of distress into one of gentle sobbing with an occasional gasp of air. 

The whole time Fausto is following behind Christopher, he thinks to himself over and over again, "I really wonder what she saw that made her this fucked up? Was it really all of my fault?"
