<inquiry>You seem to know everything about the Wood, what about the lake is so special?
>”Go there and find out. I may find some shinies in your corpse. You’d make a nice wind chime.”
She stonewalls you immediately. You get the strong feeling that aside from violence, she won’t give you anything else.
It would ruin the game for her.
<statement>We should leave, the Sun will be coming up soon.
You try to steel your nerves, and fail.
<inquiry>Is that acceptable?
>"I don't care. I'm leaving regardless. I saw what I wanted to see. Don't think for an instant this was about you in any way aside from checking the pot.
>"Over-judging your self worth is a good way to wind up a lot of pretty little corpses."
With her final say, she fades away, her suit going with her into the cave wall, returning to wherever the Hell she wants.
In a hurry, you rush out of the Remnant Cave and close it.
JJ is on her knees in the grass, covering her head in terror.
<inquiry>The Rainbow-thing held us up, what happened?
>"The... lightning. It was every color, it was her..."
You recall the boom earlier, the one that rattled the entire cave.
>"I thought she was coming to kill me..."
<statement>She came to collect on the Remnant she made us promise to get. She didn’t have any interest in you.
>”That’s...Just to talk?”
You begin to walk with JJ around the back of the Pizzeria, the Canine is being quiet, though the gurgling of the Vacuum continues. At this point it’s just white noise. You take her by hand, lest she collapse from fear.
Right now you need Rest, if the Rainbow went on the offensive, you and JJ would likely be dead.
<statement>We can discuss it later, right now we’re falling to pieces.
JJ is quiet, and to your relief you’re able to make it to your Office from the rear door without being interrupted.
The Canine seems to be moving slowly from the Restroom to the Party Room in a strange state of disorientation.
Wasting no time, you Rest.
