He looked over at her. "Something is really off. Something tells me we don't want to find out what." he whispered, wrapping up as he went to sit back down next to Five

She leaned on him. 

Aden found Violet. “Is everything okay?”

“You seem awfully calm.” Her jaw tightened. “Did you try to kill my son? No, that doesn’t make sense… why would you bring him back? How would you bring him back? How did you bring him back? Without a scratch on him?? Ava, tell me the truth or I’ll have to tell you what I think’s going on here.”

He tipped out of the hug and laid on her, having not slept in ages, and passed out

"We have to get out quick, we might be discovered if we don't" she said sternly

"W-well . . . we . . . we went to the lake and swam for a few minutes . . . then we took a walk down some side tunnels, and after a little while- well 'cus then we . . . there were these, like, weird rock-worm things that he told me the name of but it was weird so I don't remember it," she blurted. ". . . A-and one of them got my leg and we kinda panicked and ran . . . and then we got attacked by something else that I don't know what it was and he carried me 'c-cus I was hurt and stuff but then he got really tired so he drank something that made him have a bunch of energy and we made it back to the lake but then he said it was poison and I freaked out and made him drink the antidote 'cus he had that too but it made him really tired and so I brought him back here a-and I'm sorry I lied to you! I panicked!" she finished, hands on the sides of her head.

Mrs. Whitlock looked both more and less alarmed. 

“Well… I believe you more this time. But he’s unharmed, and you’re relatively so…”

A man knocked on the door. “Hey had to land just a hop away. Let’s go, folks.”

Just now, Through The Living Glass said:

She looked up again, blinking away the tears in the corners of her eyes.

"So . . . what?"

“Relatively unharmed.” She sat next to Tam, twisting her fingers. “You’re… you’re not here to hurt anyone, are you?”

An older man (fifties or sixties) imma cowboy hat nodded to her. “Perfect. Load ‘em up.” He jerked his thumb backwards at his vehicle, a long, low crawler.

"What? Of course not! Why would I hurt anyone? What are you talking about?"

She nodded. “Good. I… I just had to be sure.” She clasped her hands to keep them from trembling. “You’re the… you’re the Narrator, aren’t you?” She whispered.
