From the top of the first spire you climb you start to map your progress: if you get down again, head for <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-g">there</span></span>, there's an up to a sky bridge; drop from the bridge go roof to roof till <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-g">there</span></span>, you're one long swing to a much taller spire, more bridges, closer to The Glowy's entry hole.
In the course of things you sometimes have to tie a rope between two high points and monkey across. It pains you a little to leave good rope behind, but fuggit. Better rope than time, and better time than meat.
The awful feeling of being searched for is getting oppressive. You can swear you hear movement sometimes, when you're catching your breath between big hups.
Fugg the rope, really.

>NOT JUMPED
You're starting to feel crowded, outnumbered. The Dark in the buildings, the whole City maybe, moves like a biggy Slime: like it's all one half-brain, just smart enough to follow anything with meat on.
The only reason they carnt get a bead on you is you're jumping like a flea across the skyline; they don't seem to make the connection that you're trying to reach the Out.
They follow your progress with Lightless eyes when you make big hups across open air; their feet follow their eyes, when they can. From a few glimpses you guess they might be Buggs, since they all move flat along the ground. Kindy like YOU, when you're in Stance. You're not fully sure though: some of them look hunched but upright.
The thought suddenly strikes you that they might be grinning, and this makes you climb farsta.
