The room has devolved into chaos. Executioners have taken to chasing down and killing the cultists, leaving them dead on the ground or elsewhere. Lani stands frozen in fear.
LANI (THINKING): Why can't I move...?
Lani is jolted out of her thoughts by a voice.
ÍSJA: Lani!
Ísja and Num point toward the Pocket.
ÍSJA: Come on! Now's our chance!
NUM: It doesn't look like they care about us, but I'd rather not stick around to find out for sure!
Ísja sneaks around Lani to hurriedly untie the rope binding her wrists.
LANI: Everyone's... They're all...
ÍSJA: I know, but we don't have time to stand around!
Ísja takes hold of Lani's hand as the two of them, led by Num, race toward the Pocket. It's as Num said: the Executioners are completely ignoring the three of them.
ÍSJA: This way!
The three make it to the Pocket and stand in front of it. The Courier watches silently.
