Who: All the good little anti-entropy engine girls and boys and others
Where: On the way back towards the dorms
When: Day 258, evening, so very shortly after Good Ends
What:

[As the festivities end and it’s time to head back to dorms, there seems to hang an uneasy feeling that has nothing to do with bittersweet goodbyes. The particularly astute may notice an uncomfortable stillness about; not a living thing is out and active, save the Blanks. Even the river seems stilled, as if holding its breath. The more sensitive can probably feel it coming, whatever it is. Even the insensitive may find something about the walk home distasteful.]

No death.

They don't die, Tide. The people in the earth . . . they're still alive. Even as they're turning to stone.

. . . .

And it almost took all of us tonight.

Outside . . . what happened?

The ground came alive...it's like it turned to liquid and began swallowing things whole. I lost one of the spears you made me- the ground simply ate it.

And it called to us, trying to convince us to sink into it, too...

[Holds him tighter.]

I'm glad you didn't listen.

[Giving one of her hands another brief squeeze.]

Of course. I still have too many things to do, after all.
