Where the Heart Is

The cultists stand in a circle around the trio, who are still tied to chairs. Some of them are carrying lanterns while others are empty-handed.

Ísja looks up at the two cultists nearest to him.

ÍSJA: Um, excuse me?

He attempts a half-hearted, nervous smile.

ÍSJA: If it's not too much trouble, do you think you could tie me and my brother's wrists together before we go?

Cultist 2 looks at Cultist 1, the leader of the group. Cultist 1 crosses her arms.

CULTIST 1: You're in no position to be making requests.

Lani is helped up by Cultist 3. She looks as though she's despairing.

ÍSJA: Oh, I know, it's just that...

CULTIST 3: Up we go.

Lani is led forward a little bit by Cultist 3. She's frowning and not paying much attention to what Ísja, Num, and the other cultists are saying behind her.

ÍSJA (UNFOCUSED): See, we have to be...

CULTIST 1 (UNFOCUSED): You're going t... e same pla... is that... e en...

NUM (UNFOCUSED): No, it's not. We have to... e toge...

CULTIST 1 (UNFOCUSED): Come on. Do you really... we're stup... to believ... s?

Lani shuts her eyes, accepting her fate.

LANI: So, this is it.

ÍSJA: WAIT, STOP!

Lani's eyes are flung open and she whirls around.

a simple request!
