As the cart traveled onward, with the Closed Labyrinth visible in the distance, Rebecca finally broke the long silence.
"Hey, Luthra, is a Labyrinth just a forest with a bunch of confusing trees, because that doesn't sound very scary."
'It's the things living inside them, not the trees themselves,' he thought, but before he could speak, Lilith's voice suddenly manifested inside his head.
[Luthra, there is a problem.]
'Tch, of course there is.'
"What now?"
[Four hostile signatures are approaching at high speed and will intercept your position in approximately seven minutes, and I have identified them as the Syndicate hunters.]
He tightened his grip on the reins, pain shooting through his splinted arms.
'Seven minutes, and I can't even see them, which is a massive blind spot.'
"Lilith, this is a pain, since I can't fight what I can't see, so how do I learn to sense things, and don't tell me to buy some stupid skill from the shop."
