Hopeful Homicide

Urick told me that when the root sprouted at the center of our formation, they also managed to stay together like us. I also saw it and could confirm that what he's saying is correct.


"But, when these damn potatoes started to crawl up, I saw one appear around them as well."


He said that he was unsure, but before the potato walls reached enough height to block our vision, he saw that one also appeared around them. Separating them in pairs, with Jin and Finnley together, and Aran and Fion with each other.


I don't know if Urick's correct, since the last thing I saw is all four of them close to each other. But, maybe I was too focused on the walls emerging around us that I didn't notice.


"Why are you worried about those two?" Siti asked. She's still laying on the ground but rolled over to face us.


"Why I'm worried?" Urick said paired with the shaking of his head, "No offense, but, the kids mad crazy."
