[RL to both Marias, immediately after this]

[srs face] I need both of you to listen carefully and do exactly as I say. I'm taking you to the middle floor of the bank. If you hear or see anyone at all, do anything you can to stay hidden. Don't assume it's safe to come out until I personally come to get you. Is that understood?

[is less obviously scared - a little too used to things like this by now]

This is about Mephiles, isn't it...?

I'll explain later.

[oh look, suddenly all three are in the bank. Shadow reaches for a hand from each of them and hurriedly leads them to a room near the center of the floor]

[stumbles slightly, but follows along, and is panting and a little out of breath by the time they come to a stop. Leans against a wall without thinking about it, then straightens up as the wall starts to give and turn into flowers]

Chaos Control. [lets go of both of them, giving them a severe look]

Stay put. If you see my double, stay absolutely silent. Message me on the PDA if you can and I'll be here immediately. Hopefully, though, that won't happen.

[sits down on the floor, grateful that floors at least seem to be immune to structural degradation by way of flowers or she would've fallen to the ground floor by now]

Good luck, Shadow. Be careful.

He uses Chaos energy, but don't ask me beyond that, I'm not sure I really understand. Grandfather must have figured it out, though...

He's one of them, yes. [small smile] His most important one.
