The survivors of the Novus have started to turn things around. While Marcus and Nathaniel are waiting for Talia, Nathaniel helps to sooth Marcus’s nerves by talking about the status of the five regions.

Marcus stared at his friend and complained, “What’s keeping Talia? She knows that she needs to be here for this, right?”
Nathaniel looked up and smiled, “She’ll be here, Marcus.” Repositioning himself, Nathaniel pointed at the seat across from him. “She’s not the one you need to worry about, you know.”
