Evelise pointed toward the forest beyond the cabin.
"I want to explore. Remember what you said? That if I could walk in sunlight again, you'd take me to see the Nexus Green."
Sid blinked, then groaned softly, dragging a hand down his face.
"I did say that, didn't I?"
"Yes, you did. And I'm holding you to it."
He sighed, glancing toward the trees.
"You know, most people would want to rest after all that laundry. Maybe take a nap, enjoy being alive again?"
Evelise shook her head, her green eyes gleaming with determination.
"No. I've been still for too long. I want to see what's out there again— the world I used to know. The heart of Nexus Green…"
"Heart of Nexus Green? Sounds poetic. Or dangerous. Or both."
"It's not that far. Besides, I know the way. You just have to follow me."
He folded his arms, giving her a skeptical look, then blinked twice to open his HUD overlay and check the mini map.
