Chapter Thirty-Six
It took us a fair amount of time to make it to the entrance, where a few harried attendants tried to organise the chaos of desperate travellers into groups. Anyone who needs tickets, this way please, regular passengers, this way.

“I’m so glad you’re back,” was the first thing she said. The worried look in her eyes disturbed me.
