22: GLITCH NOW COLORADO, TE. Zach walked past hastily to his motel room before locking the door, and calling for her- ‘ire- katharina. katharina’ He yearned. He paced around the room for a few seconds before dropping to the ground, his back against the door.

23: a long, long way back to you. "Okay. This is the part where you leave and go back" She whispered to him. "I don't think I'm leaving" He said after a while as he stared at his bag full of money and the busted down door, from where he could see a garage, or something resembling a workshop. "So what now?" Katharina asked. ~
