There is a sense of dread in the space occupied by Helount as Anju’s spirit begins pushing him to answer for his desire to become one with the Stone, even if it means aiding the Palm Bay Pirates in their schemes. As if to demonstrate the selfishness now in Helount’s heart, they continue to dig into the past and discuss their rescue of Marrk from the Ninpar Gang and the selflessness and trust they all demonstrated that day...
