The confirmed promise of a way back home made Caleb and Lesha's hearts burn with determination.
Rarely did the two speak on the way back to Egress, as all they could think about was the final operation — their final labor.
They schemed…and daydreamed.

"T-They're back! Everyone, they're back!!" screamed a beastkin.
The group's return spread like wildfire throughout the entire haven. Before long, they were surrounded, and surprisingly, Nando, too, was there.
It was the first time the old man hadn't taken advantage of the commotion to slip away.
Caleb calmed everyone down and called for order, managing to take control of the situation with the threat that he wouldn't explain unless the scene was orderly.
