“It’s not here, it’s further ahead,” I said, not slowing. “This spot isn’t it.”Ryan kept pace beside me, his breathing uneven like he wanted to stop me but knew it wouldn’t work. “Further where, because we already crossed out and that was already pushing it, we don’t just keep walking into something we don’t understand.”“I know where it is,” I said. “I just can’t explain it.”“That’s exactly the problem,” he said. “You’re moving like you’ve done this before and you haven’t.”“I haven’t,” I said. “It just feels familiar.”Ethan’s voice came from behind, steady but closer now. “Keep moving, hesitation will only break the alignment.”Ryan glanced back briefly. “You always say things like that like it’s simple, it’s not simple.”“It’s not simple,” Ethan said. “It’s already happening.”I slowed just a little. “It’s close.”Ryan looked ahead again. “I still don’t see anything, and that’s really starting to bother me.”“You won’t,” I said. “Not yet.”“Yeah, that answer again,” he muttered.

Ryan’s grip tightened fast. “No, no— it spoke again, didn’t it, I can see it on your face, what did it say this time.”I exhaled slowly. “It said… I took my time.”“That’s not better,” Ryan said under his breath. “That sounds like it’s been waiting, like this isn’t new to it.”“It isn’t,” Ethan said quietly.Ryan turned. “You keep saying things like that like they’re obvious, they’re not, so say it properly.”Ethan didn’t answer him. “Is it closer now.”“Yes,” I said. “Not just closer… it feels like I’m already inside it.”Ryan shook his head. “No, we’re not doing that, we don’t go further, we stop right here.”“I can’t stop here,” I said.“You keep saying that,” Ryan said, stepping in front of me now. “Then say something different, say you won’t move, just once.”I looked at him.“I can’t promise that.”Ryan let out a quiet breath, frustrated but softer now. “Yeah… figured you’d say that.”“It’s not about leaving you behind,” I said. “It just… doesn’t feel like something I’m allowed

“You heard that too, right… tell me I’m not the only one,” Ryan said, his voice low but unsteady. “Because that didn’t come from anywhere normal.”I didn’t answer immediately, my focus still caught on it, that voice, too clear, too close, and I said, “It wasn’t outside… it was inside, like it knew exactly where to reach.”Ryan swore under his breath. “Yeah, no, I don’t like that, I don’t like anything about that, voices in your head don’t just happen.”“It wasn’t random,” I said. “It knew me.”“That’s worse,” Ryan said quickly. “That’s so much worse.”Ethan stepped closer this time, not holding distance anymore. “What exactly did it say.”I swallowed slightly. “It said… I’m late.”Ryan let out a sharp breath. “Late for what, that’s— no, that implies timing, like something’s already been waiting.”“It has,” Ethan said quietly.Ryan turned to him immediately. “Don’t do that, don’t say things like that and stop, finish it.”Ethan didn’t look away from me. “If it spoke, then the connectio

“It’s not fading,” I said, my voice low, “it’s getting clearer, like it knows exactly where it wants me to go.”Ryan’s grip tightened slightly as he said, “Go where, because you’re not just walking out of here after everything that just happened, that’s not happening.”“I’m not trying to walk out,” I said, “but it’s not staying still, it’s pulling in one direction now.”“That’s exactly why we don’t follow it, because now it knows where it wants you and I don’t trust that,” Ryan said, shaking his head. “You don’t just trust something like this.”“I know what manipulation feels like and this isn’t that, it’s not forcing me,” I said. “It’s not pushing, it’s just there, waiting.”“That doesn’t make it safe, it just makes it harder to fight and I don’t like anything that feels this convincing,” Ryan said. “That’s how people get pulled in without realizing it.”Ethan’s voice came quieter. “Where exactly do you feel it, don’t just say outside, point it out.”I glanced at him. “You already kn

Everything stayed still for a second too long after the surge, then movement returned in a different way. “They’re not even hiding it now, they’re just… watching you like it’s decided.” Ryan said.“I didn’t do that on purpose,” I said, my voice tighter than before, “I didn’t even know that was going to happen.”“I know,” Ryan said, stepping closer, “I know you didn’t, but that doesn’t change what it did.”A few of them dropped fully this time, not halfway, not unsure, and Ryan went quiet for a second before saying, “Yeah… that’s new, that’s not hesitation anymore.”“Stop,” I said quickly, “don’t react to it, please, just don’t make it worse.”“I’m trying not to,” Ryan said, “but this is getting out of control and you’re standing in the middle of it.”“I can feel it,” I said, “it’s still there, it didn’t go away, it’s just under everything now.”“What do you mean under,” Ryan asked.“Like it’s waiting,” I said, “not gone, not quiet, just… ready.”“That’s not better,” Ryan muttered, th

Evening settled slowly over the pack, the movement thinning but never fully stopping, and Ryan glanced around before saying, “Something’s off again, it’s quieter but not in a calm way, more like everyone’s waiting for something.”“I feel it too,” I said, “it’s heavier now, like the air changed and no one’s saying why.”“They’re watching you more,” Ryan said, “not just looking, actually watching, like they’re expecting you to do something.”“I’m not doing anything,” I said, “I’m just standing here and somehow that’s enough again.”“That’s what I’m saying,” Ryan replied, “it shouldn’t be enough, but it is, and I don’t like what that means.”A few passed nearby, some slowing, some keeping distance, and Ryan muttered, “Yeah… there, you see that, some of them can’t even come close now.”“They’re split,” I said, “some feel pulled, some feel… unsure.”“Uneasy,” Ryan said, “that’s the word, they don’t know if they should follow you or stay away from you.”“I don’t even know what I am to them,

Silence stretched longer than it should, and Ryan’s voice came tight as he said, “Becky… talk to me, are you okay, like actually okay, not just saying it to make this easier.”“I’m okay,” I said, “I don’t feel shaken, I don’t feel overwhelmed, it’s just… steady, like something settled instead of br

“This is it, right, this is the place you didn’t want to explain because once we step in everything changes for real,” Ryan said. “Don’t tell me I’m wrong because I can feel it already and it’s not small.”“Yes,” Ethan said. “This is the center, and once we move forward there’s no distance between

“What was that supposed to mean, ‘it’s already begun’, begun what exactly because nobody here is explaining anything and I’m done pretending this is normal,” Ryan said. “You heard it too, so don’t tell me to ignore it again.”“I heard it,” I said. “And it didn’t feel like a warning, it felt like… l

“Okay… yeah, I’m not going to pretend that was normal because that wasn’t normal at all,” Ryan said. “They don’t just kneel like that for no reason.”“You’re inside the pack now, things don’t work the way you expect them to,” Ethan said. “So stop trying to measure it with what you think is normal.”
