*YN is sitting on their bed.*

*Garry's message pops up as a caption*: YN LN! Wake up!

*YN gets up, walking to the window.*

*Garry is seen below.*

YN: Garry?

Garry: There's a town meeting going on!

YN: Another?

Garry: Yeah, and it's serious! Andrew got hurt, bad!

*YN gasps, moving inside to their armor stand. They shout;* Hold on!

*YN makes their way down the pole, almost tripping on the way down.*

YN: This is the fourth time this week someone's hurt! What's going on?

Garry: I don't know! No one can remember what happened to them.

YN: No one? Not even Andrew this time?

Garry: If he does, no one's told me.

*YN crosses their arms in a pout.*

YN: Darn. To think we'd be getting closer, nope.

*YN's face brights up a little.*

YN: Wait, what patrol was Andrew on? And Ian, Loaf, and Austin?

Garry: They all went south...

*Garry's face brightens*

Garry: You're a genius!

YN: I know, Garrett. I know.

*Timeskip a few minutes later, Central. They meet at the fountain with Zud, Pat, and Kate.*

YN: Whatever the heck is doing this is wiping us out. It feels so empty.

Pat: Yeah, it's just us five conscious.

Zud: And Phil.

Garry: Well, true, but we five are the only ones able to patrol.

*Garry puts his hand to his chin in thought.*

YN: Well, let's recap. They all went south, correct?

*The group nods.*

YN: And they all got hurt, correct?

*The group nods again.*

YN: Then going south is problematic.

*Garry's face lights up and he grins*

Garry: So we don't go south!

YN: Yep! And where *do* we go?

Pat: That's an easy north, farthest away.

*Pat strikes a triumphant pose.*

*YN rolls their eyes.*

YN: Nope. South.

*Everyone shouts, "What?!" and looks at YN*

YN: Do we want to know how this happened?

YN: How we could make this stop?

YN: I'm the strongest here, and the fastest.

YN: Do we want to leave this mystery unsolved?

Zud: I mean, we could try, if you stay safe.

Garry: Nope! Nope!

Zud: Ga-

Garry: NOPE!

Garry: Too risky! We can't lose our best fighter to whatever's happening.

*YN crosses their arms.*

YN: Someone has to find out! So, too bad!

*Garry scowls and glares, and Zud nods. Pat and Kate look at each other, contemplating.*

*Pat looks weary*: What would happen if..

Pat: ..you don't make it out like the others?

YN: Did you miss that I'm stronger than everyone else?

YN: If they can all make it out alive, I can too.

*YN thinks for a moment.*

YN: If I don't make it out within a day, then you can all start to worry.

Zud: That's fair.

*Kate has a look of distaste.*

Kate: We can't afford to-

YN: An hour is all I need. Trust me.

Garry: I hate the idea, but it's all we have. Make it worth it, yeah?

*YN nods.*

YN: I promise.

*YN rushes back to their tower, getting their messenger bag, tools, and weapons.*

YN, Captions: From then on, nothing was stopping me.

YN, Captions: And there I went.
