"Okay. Let's do it. I want to help with fours and fives," Theo says.
He sounds excited.
He can finally have time alone.
Inside a dungeon.
He is already imagining the silence. The freedom. The absence of conversation. Just him and the monsters.
Arthur looks satisfied too.
Finally, help.
He is no longer the only one carrying the weight of Solarys DEU.
Liam also feels a spark of energy return to him. He has been restless for days. At first, staying home felt like a reward. Rest. Peace.
Then… he showed up.
It stopped being peaceful.
It stopped being restful.
Liam wants to feel useful again.
Only Maeve frowns.
Of course she wants to help.
Of course she does.
But something inside her resists the idea of returning to a dungeon so soon.
She cannot explain it properly. Nothing is wrong. She is not afraid.
She just does not want to go back.
She would rather stay in the apartment.
Cook.
Clean.
Take care of them.
Make sure everyone eats.
Make sure everyone rests.
