He
181
00:01:28,469 --> 00:01:28,650:

00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:36,000:
way to

then
212
00:01:43,170 --> 00:01:43,620:
began to

in
217
00:01:44,489 --> 00:01:45,569:
frustration. “You

have

I

couldn’t

The

truth
246
00:01:55,409 --> 00:01:55,739:
seemed

00:01:55,739 --> 00:01:55,890:

257
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:01,620:
He
258
00:02:01,620 --> 00:02:02,159:

into

00:02:15,659 --> 00:02:17,456:
silence. His

stance had
298
00:02:17,969 --> 00:02:20,009:

way
832
00:06:16,079 --> 00:06:16,259:
would
833
00:06:16,259 --> 00:06:16,410:
do
834
00:06:16,410 --> 00:06:16,500:
to
835
00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:16,800:
someone
836
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:16,980:
so
837
00:06:16,980 --> 00:06:19,110:
exhausted.
838
00:06:19,110 --> 00:06:19,379:
Once
839
00:06:19,379 --> 00:06:19,500:
he’d
840
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:19,800:
reached
841
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:19,829:
a

843
00:06:20,339 --> 00:06:20,399:
that
844
00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:20,682:
seemed
845
00:06:20,682 --> 00:06:21,600:
safe,
846
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:21,779:
his

00:06:21,779 --> 00:06:22,019:
pace
848
00:06:22,019 --> 00:06:23,310:
slowed.
849
00:06:23,310 --> 00:06:23,610:
Blood
850
00:06:23,610 --> 00:06:23,790:

00:06:23,790 --> 00:06:24,060:
Wyatt’s

858
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:25,769:
and
859
00:06:25,769 --> 00:06:26,040:
spread
860
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:26,100:

861
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:26,189:
the

00:06:26,189 --> 00:06:26,579:
tattered

Wyatt
872
00:06:29,459 --> 00:06:29,879:
began to
873
00:06:29,879 --> 00:06:31,620:
shiver.
874
00:06:31,620 --> 00:06:31,709:
They
875
00:06:31,709 --> 00:06:32,009:
reached
876
00:06:32,009 --> 00:06:32,069:
a

yards
881
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:33,329:

00:06:33,329 --> 00:06:33,660:
denser

00:06:33,660 --> 00:06:34,110:

884
00:06:34,110 --> 00:06:34,199:

888
00:06:35,370 --> 00:06:35,610:
formed a

drift.
891
00:06:37,860 --> 00:06:38,009:
He
892
00:06:38,009 --> 00:06:38,339:
knelt

00:06:38,339 --> 00:06:38,430:

897
00:06:39,750 --> 00:06:39,899:
then
898
00:06:39,899 --> 00:06:40,259:
piled
899
00:06:40,259 --> 00:06:40,350:
and
900
00:06:40,350 --> 00:06:40,620:
packed
901
00:06:40,620 --> 00:06:40,709:

00:06:41,730 --> 00:06:42,629:
him.
906
00:06:42,629 --> 00:06:42,750:
The
907
00:06:42,750 --> 00:06:43,050:

00:06:43,529 --> 00:06:44,100:
worryingly
911
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:46,980:
shallow. Brick
912
00:06:46,980 --> 00:06:48,660:
cocked his wolfen head and rotated
913
00:06:48,660 --> 00:06:49,050:
one ear to
914
00:06:49,050 --> 00:06:49,620:
listen.
915
00:06:49,620 --> 00:06:50,370:
Satisfied
916
00:06:50,370 --> 00:06:50,879:
that his charge
917
00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:50,970:
was
918
00:06:50,970 --> 00:06:51,149:
going

00:06:51,149 --> 00:06:51,209:

00:06:51,209 --> 00:06:51,480:

921
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:51,720:

922
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:51,959:
side
923
00:06:51,959 --> 00:06:52,050:

927
00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:52,589:
the
928
00:06:52,589 --> 00:06:53,759:
moment,
929
00:06:53,759 --> 00:06:53,910:
he
930
00:06:53,910 --> 00:06:54,240:
padded
931
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:54,389:
out
932
00:06:54,389 --> 00:06:54,449:
of
933
00:06:54,449 --> 00:06:54,509:
the

00:06:54,509 --> 00:06:59,879:
clearing.

Wyatt
935
00:06:59,879 --> 00:07:00,300:
awoke
936

He

00:07:03,629 --> 00:07:03,899:
felt
945
00:07:03,899 --> 00:07:05,670:

A

He

“Oh,

Wyatt

00:07:40,860 --> 00:07:41,250:
sorry,
1037
00:07:41,250 --> 00:07:42,089:
I—”
Brick
1038
00:07:42,089 --> 00:07:42,480:
halted
1039
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:42,600:
his
1040
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:43,620:
approach;
1041
00:07:43,620 --> 00:07:43,800:
his
1042
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:44,250:
palms
1043
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:44,699:
opened
1044
00:07:44,699 --> 00:07:44,819:
in
1045
00:07:44,819 --> 00:07:44,879:
a
1046
00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:45,240:

1047
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:45,300:
of
1048
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:46,980:
neutrality. “No

00:07:47,129 --> 00:07:47,279:
for
1051
00:07:47,279 --> 00:07:49,829:
apologies.”
He
1052
00:07:49,829 --> 00:07:50,279:
motioned
1053
00:07:50,279 --> 00:07:50,399:
to
1054
00:07:50,399 --> 00:07:50,939:

1055
00:07:50,939 --> 00:07:51,029:

1059
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:52,290:
and
1060
00:07:52,290 --> 00:07:52,439:

1061
00:07:52,439 --> 00:07:52,560:
on
1062
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:52,680:

1064
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:53,129:

1065
00:07:53,129 --> 00:07:54,509:

1066
00:07:54,509 --> 00:07:54,600:
There
1067
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:54,779:
was
1068
00:07:54,779 --> 00:07:54,839:
a
1069
00:07:54,839 --> 00:07:55,589:
nasty-looking

00:07:55,949 --> 00:07:56,339:

00:07:56,699 --> 00:07:56,759:
the

1076
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:57,660:
over
1077
00:07:57,660 --> 00:07:57,779:

“I’ve

1082
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:00,959:
and
1083
00:08:00,959 --> 00:08:01,350:
deserved
1084
00:08:01,350 --> 00:08:01,680:

00:08:01,740 --> 00:08:01,889:
it.
1087
00:08:01,889 --> 00:08:02,519:
You,
1088
00:08:02,519 --> 00:08:02,730:

1089
00:08:02,730 --> 00:08:02,819:

you’re

a
1094
00:08:04,649 --> 00:08:07,829:
mystery.”
Wyatt
1095
00:08:07,829 --> 00:08:08,129:
stared
1096
00:08:08,129 --> 00:08:08,339:

00:08:08,339 --> 00:08:08,459:

visible.

Brick
1117
00:08:15,540 --> 00:08:16,170:
gestured
1118
00:08:16,170 --> 00:08:16,320:
to
1119
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:16,410:
where

against a

“There's

almost

turned

Wyatt
1162
00:08:32,220 --> 00:08:32,399:
was

00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:33,960:
motionless.

He
1165
00:08:34,049 --> 00:08:34,320:
felt
1166
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,190:
ridiculous,

half-wrapped
1168
00:08:35,789 --> 00:08:35,879:

For

everything.”
Brick
1180
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:44,399:
looked
1181
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:44,580:
over

then
1185
00:08:45,750 --> 00:08:47,639:
sighed.

00:08:47,639 --> 00:08:47,789:
He
1187
00:08:47,789 --> 00:08:48,210:
motioned

He
1217
00:08:58,440 --> 00:08:58,799:
added

00:09:07,049 --> 00:09:07,139:
with
1238
00:09:07,139 --> 00:09:08,759:
tears. “I
1239
00:09:08,759 --> 00:09:08,970:
was
1240
00:09:08,970 --> 00:09:09,330:
afraid
1241
00:09:09,330 --> 00:09:09,450:
of
1242
00:09:09,450 --> 00:09:09,629:
what
1243
00:09:09,629 --> 00:09:09,779:
I’d
1244
00:09:09,779 --> 00:09:12,929:
find.”
Brick
1245
00:09:12,929 --> 00:09:13,230:
placed
1246
00:09:13,230 --> 00:09:13,350:
an
1247
00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:13,529:
arm
1248
00:09:13,529 --> 00:09:13,769:
around
1249
00:09:13,769 --> 00:09:14,038:
Wyatt’s
1250
00:09:14,038 --> 00:09:15,690:
shoulders. “How
1251
00:09:15,690 --> 00:09:15,929:
about
1252
00:09:15,929 --> 00:09:18,179:
now?”
Wyatt’s
1253
00:09:18,179 --> 00:09:18,480:
eyes
1254
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:18,600:
were
1255
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:19,529:
unfocused,
1256
00:09:19,529 --> 00:09:19,919:
gazing
1257
00:09:19,919 --> 00:09:20,039:
into
1258
00:09:20,039 --> 00:09:20,159:
the
1259
00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:20,429:
small
1260
00:09:20,429 --> 00:09:22,139:
fire. “I
1261
00:09:22,139 --> 00:09:22,409:
have
1262
00:09:22,409 --> 00:09:22,590:
so
1263
00:09:22,590 --> 00:09:22,799:
many
1264
00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:24,779:
questions.
1265
00:09:24,779 --> 00:09:25,019:
So
1266
00:09:25,019 --> 00:09:25,350:
much I
1267
00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:25,620:
never
1268
00:09:25,620 --> 00:09:26,039:
figured
1269
00:09:26,039 --> 00:09:31,110:
out.”
“Mhmm.”
1270
00:09:31,110 --> 00:09:31,320:
Brick
1271
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,009:
nodded, “I
1272
00:09:32,009 --> 00:09:32,220:
have
1273
00:09:32,220 --> 00:09:32,429:
some
1274
00:09:32,429 --> 00:09:33,509:
answers.
1275
00:09:33,509 --> 00:09:33,659:
The
1276
00:09:33,659 --> 00:09:33,990:
main

00:09:34,169 --> 00:09:34,350:
right
1279
00:09:34,350 --> 00:09:34,950:
now
1280
00:09:34,950 --> 00:09:35,159:
is
1281
00:09:35,159 --> 00:09:35,279:
to
1282
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:35,460:
get

00:09:35,460 --> 00:09:35,580:
us
1284
00:09:35,580 --> 00:09:35,760:
out

00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:35,820:
of
1286
00:09:35,820 --> 00:09:36,629:
here.
1287
00:09:36,629 --> 00:09:36,750:
The
1288
00:09:36,750 --> 00:09:37,379:
day’s half
1289
00:09:37,379 --> 00:09:37,679:
gone
1290
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:37,799:
and
1291
00:09:37,799 --> 00:09:37,889:
if

00:09:37,889 --> 00:09:38,009:
you’re

the
1295

trailhead
1296
00:09:38,850 --> 00:09:38,970:
I
1297
00:09:38,970 --> 00:09:39,360:
think
1298
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:39,539:
you
1299
00:09:39,539 --> 00:09:40,710:
are…”
Wyatt
1300
00:09:40,710 --> 00:09:41,100:
stared
1301
00:09:41,100 --> 00:09:41,190:
at
1302
00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:41,279:
the
1303
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:41,730:
flickering
1304
00:09:41,730 --> 00:09:43,679:
coals. “Fire

road,
1306
00:09:44,460 --> 00:09:44,610:
out
1307
00:09:44,610 --> 00:09:47,129:
west.”
Brick
1308
00:09:47,129 --> 00:09:47,429:
sucked
1309
00:09:47,429 --> 00:09:47,610:
air
1310
00:09:47,610 --> 00:09:47,789:
through

clenched
1312
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,139:
teeth. “Yep.
1313
00:09:49,139 --> 00:09:49,470:
Not
1314
00:09:49,470 --> 00:09:50,490:
great.
1315
00:09:50,490 --> 00:09:50,654:
It’s the
1316
00:09:50,654 --> 00:09:50,940:
last
1317
00:09:50,940 --> 00:09:51,120:

the

00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:51,990:
cycle.
1321
00:09:51,990 --> 00:09:52,200:
We
1322
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:52,500:
can’t
1323
00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:52,710:
stay
1324
00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:52,950:
here
1325
00:09:52,950 --> 00:09:53,100:
with

this.”
“I’m
1329
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:55,889:
tired
1330
00:09:55,889 --> 00:09:56,009:
of
1331
00:09:56,009 --> 00:09:56,399:
hurting
1332
00:09:56,399 --> 00:09:57,149:
people.”
1333
00:09:57,149 --> 00:09:57,480:
Wyatt
1334
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:57,809:
said,
1335
00:09:57,809 --> 00:09:59,730:
softly.
“It’s
1336
00:09:59,730 --> 00:10:00,090:
not

between

00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:01,620:
harming

00:10:01,620 --> 00:10:02,039:
others
1342
00:10:02,039 --> 00:10:02,129:
and
1343
00:10:02,129 --> 00:10:02,549:
harming
1344
00:10:02,549 --> 00:10:04,049:
yourself.
1345
00:10:04,049 --> 00:10:04,289:
You’re

not

this
1351
00:10:06,029 --> 00:10:06,570:
alone.
1352
00:10:06,570 --> 00:10:06,840:
None

are.”
1356
00:10:08,070 --> 00:10:08,370:
Brick
1357
00:10:08,370 --> 00:10:08,789:
stood,
1358
00:10:08,789 --> 00:10:09,000:
then
1359
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:09,210:
pulled
1360
00:10:09,210 --> 00:10:09,509:
Wyatt
1361
00:10:09,509 --> 00:10:09,659:
up
1362
00:10:09,659 --> 00:10:09,840:
into
1363
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:09,929:
an
1364
00:10:09,929 --> 00:10:11,399:
embrace. “This
1365
00:10:11,399 --> 00:10:11,580:
is
1366
00:10:11,580 --> 00:10:11,639:
a
1367
00:10:11,639 --> 00:10:12,000:
piece
1368
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:12,120:
of
1369
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:12,240:
who
1370

you
1371
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:12,690:
are,
1372
00:10:12,690 --> 00:10:12,840:
but
1373
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:13,080:
you're
1374
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:13,289:
so
1375
00:10:13,289 --> 00:10:13,529:
much
1376
00:10:13,529 --> 00:10:13,740:
more
1377
00:10:13,740 --> 00:10:13,950:
than
1378
00:10:13,950 --> 00:10:16,034:
this.” He
1379
00:10:16,034 --> 00:10:16,360:
withdrew
1380
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:16,419:
a
1381
00:10:16,419 --> 00:10:17,440:
bit, then
1382
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:18,129:
clasped Wyatt’s
1383
00:10:18,129 --> 00:10:18,669:
cheeks
1384
00:10:18,669 --> 00:10:18,759:
in

00:10:18,759 --> 00:10:19,029:
rough
1386

It
1392
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:23,019:
gets
1393
00:10:23,019 --> 00:10:23,470:
better,
1394
00:10:23,470 --> 00:10:23,559:
I
1395
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,629:
promise.”
1396
00:10:25,629 --> 00:10:25,809:
He
1397
00:10:25,809 --> 00:10:26,110:
dipped
1398
00:10:26,110 --> 00:10:26,230:
his
1399
00:10:26,230 --> 00:10:26,860:
forehead
1400
00:10:26,860 --> 00:10:26,980:
to
1401
00:10:26,980 --> 00:10:27,279:

1402
00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:27,399:

while
1405
00:10:27,879 --> 00:10:28,179:
pulling
1406
00:10:28,179 --> 00:10:28,299:
him
1407
00:10:28,299 --> 00:10:29,769:
close.
Wyatt
1408
00:10:29,769 --> 00:10:30,429:
broke
1409
00:10:30,429 --> 00:10:32,440:
completely.
1410
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:32,559:
He
1411
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:32,740:
would
1412
00:10:32,740 --> 00:10:32,860:
have

00:10:32,860 --> 00:10:33,279:
fallen
1414
00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:33,399:
if
1415
00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:33,610:
not
1416
00:10:33,610 --> 00:10:33,730:
for

00:10:33,730 --> 00:10:33,850:
the

bearhug. Brick
1419
00:10:35,830 --> 00:10:36,070:
held
1420
00:10:36,070 --> 00:10:36,190:
him
1421
00:10:36,190 --> 00:10:36,759:
silently
1422
00:10:36,759 --> 00:10:36,909:
as
1423
00:10:36,909 --> 00:10:36,970:
he
1424
00:10:36,970 --> 00:10:37,419:
sobbed,
1425
00:10:37,419 --> 00:10:37,750:
smoke
1426
00:10:37,750 --> 00:10:37,899:
from
1427
00:10:37,899 --> 00:10:37,990:
the

curling
1430
00:10:38,710 --> 00:10:39,100:
around
1431
00:10:39,100 --> 00:10:40,960:
them.
Once
1432
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:41,049:
he’d
1433
00:10:41,049 --> 00:10:41,409:
gathered
1434
00:10:41,409 --> 00:10:41,889:
himself,
1435
00:10:41,889 --> 00:10:42,159:
Wyatt
1436
00:10:42,159 --> 00:10:42,460:
turned
1437
00:10:42,460 --> 00:10:42,669:

Not

Garage,

Was

Ella

She

00:15:05,379 --> 00:15:06,399:
froze,
2097
00:15:06,399 --> 00:15:06,549:
then

00:15:08,830 --> 00:15:08,950:
It

00:15:08,950 --> 00:15:09,159:

She
2114
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:13,389:

and
2119
00:15:14,139 --> 00:15:14,409:
began
2120
00:15:14,409 --> 00:15:14,470:

2125
00:15:18,370 --> 00:15:18,549:
Where
2126
00:15:18,549 --> 00:15:18,669:
did he
2127
00:15:18,669 --> 00:15:18,850:
put
2128
00:15:18,850 --> 00:15:18,940:
it
2129
00:15:18,940 --> 00:15:19,269:
last?
2130
00:15:19,269 --> 00:15:21,850:
Fuck.
She
2131
00:15:21,850 --> 00:15:22,299:
searched
2132
00:15:22,299 --> 00:15:23,289:
quickly,
2133
00:15:23,289 --> 00:15:23,412:
and
2134
00:15:23,412 --> 00:15:23,500:
had

00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:23,740:

00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:26,049:

00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,309:
her.
* * *
Wyatt
2154
00:15:30,309 --> 00:15:31,419:
stirred.
2155
00:15:31,419 --> 00:15:31,539:
He
2156
00:15:31,539 --> 00:15:32,139:
blinked,
2157
00:15:32,139 --> 00:15:32,320:
then
2158
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:32,590:
shot
2159
00:15:32,590 --> 00:15:32,710:
up
2160
00:15:32,710 --> 00:15:32,799:
in
2161
00:15:32,799 --> 00:15:33,220:
horrified
2162
00:15:33,220 --> 00:15:34,539:
recognition.
2163
00:15:34,539 --> 00:15:34,629:
It
2164
00:15:34,629 --> 00:15:34,840:
was
2165
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:35,110:
dark
2166
00:15:35,110 --> 00:15:35,230:

deck,
2169
00:15:35,710 --> 00:15:35,860:

2172
00:15:36,519 --> 00:15:36,669:

00:15:36,669 --> 00:15:36,759:

2176
00:15:38,409 --> 00:15:38,679:
She’d

come
2178
00:15:38,860 --> 00:15:40,179:
home.
2179
00:15:40,179 --> 00:15:40,389:
WHY
2180
00:15:40,389 --> 00:15:40,509:
had
2181
00:15:40,509 --> 00:15:40,690:

00:15:40,690 --> 00:15:40,899:
come
2183
00:15:40,899 --> 00:15:42,850:
home!?
He’d
2184
00:15:42,850 --> 00:15:43,120:
just
2185
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:43,509:
managed
2186
00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:43,570:
to

00:15:43,570 --> 00:15:43,690:

2191
00:15:44,289 --> 00:15:44,379:
when
2192
00:15:44,379 --> 00:15:44,529:
his

00:15:44,529 --> 00:15:44,830:

00:15:44,830 --> 00:15:45,220:
swam
2195
00:15:45,220 --> 00:15:45,309:
and
2196
00:15:45,309 --> 00:15:45,610:
lost
2197
00:15:45,610 --> 00:15:46,659:
focus.
2198
00:15:46,659 --> 00:15:46,779:
He
2199
00:15:46,779 --> 00:15:47,080:
clutched
2200
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:47,230:
his

00:15:47,230 --> 00:15:48,009:
chest,
2202
00:15:48,009 --> 00:15:48,250:
tried
2203
00:15:48,250 --> 00:15:48,340:

00:15:48,340 --> 00:15:48,730:
inhale,
2205
00:15:48,730 --> 00:15:48,850:
but
2206
00:15:48,850 --> 00:15:48,970:
his
2207
00:15:48,970 --> 00:15:49,480:
diaphragm
2208
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:50,860:
seized.
2209
00:15:50,860 --> 00:15:51,279:
Dropping

2213
00:15:51,879 --> 00:15:51,970:
he
2214
00:15:51,970 --> 00:15:52,240:
hunched
2215
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:52,419:
over
2216
00:15:52,419 --> 00:15:53,230:

2217
00:15:53,230 --> 00:15:53,440:
His

00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:53,710:
hair
2219
00:15:53,710 --> 00:15:53,919:
was
2220
00:15:53,919 --> 00:15:54,250:
damp
2221
00:15:54,250 --> 00:15:54,340:
with
2222
00:15:54,340 --> 00:15:54,730:
sweat,
2223
00:15:54,730 --> 00:15:55,059:
beginning
2224
00:15:55,059 --> 00:15:55,149:

2225
00:15:55,149 --> 00:15:55,539:

2226
00:15:55,539 --> 00:15:55,690:

2227
00:15:55,690 --> 00:15:57,039:
spread.
2228
00:15:57,039 --> 00:15:57,580:
Widening

00:15:57,580 --> 00:15:58,090:
shoulders
2230
00:15:58,090 --> 00:15:58,419:

2231
00:15:58,419 --> 00:15:58,509:
on
2232
00:15:58,509 --> 00:15:59,169:
muscle,
2233
00:15:59,169 --> 00:15:59,649:
brutally
2234
00:15:59,649 --> 00:16:00,190:
reshaping

00:16:00,190 --> 00:16:01,179:
flesh.
2236
00:16:01,179 --> 00:16:01,450:
This
2237
00:16:01,450 --> 00:16:01,659:
was
2238
00:16:01,659 --> 00:16:02,110:
familiar
2239
00:16:02,110 --> 00:16:02,590:
agony,
2240
00:16:02,590 --> 00:16:02,679:
but

00:16:03,639 --> 00:16:04,000:

00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:25,119:
There was

greeted

00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:55,210:
him,

00:17:55,210 --> 00:17:55,599:
flanking

2545
00:17:58,335 --> 00:17:58,869:
recalled

00:17:58,869 --> 00:17:59,289:
Brick’s

2549
00:18:00,309 --> 00:18:02,289:
while in his shifted form, and
2550
00:18:02,289 --> 00:18:02,799:
growled
2551
00:18:02,799 --> 00:18:02,920:
in
2552
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:03,490:
frustration
2553
00:18:03,490 --> 00:18:03,579:
at

00:18:03,579 --> 00:18:03,789:
how
2555
00:18:03,789 --> 00:18:04,299:
useful
2556
00:18:04,299 --> 00:18:04,809:
speech
2557
00:18:04,809 --> 00:18:04,990:

00:18:04,990 --> 00:18:05,289:
be

00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:05,650:
this
2561
00:18:05,650 --> 00:18:08,589:
moment.
The

change
2563
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:09,009:
was
2564
00:18:09,009 --> 00:18:09,309:
almost
2565
00:18:09,309 --> 00:18:09,670:
finished

powerful

spasm
2575
00:18:13,420 --> 00:18:13,750:
lanced
2576
00:18:13,750 --> 00:18:13,839:

body.
2579
00:18:15,730 --> 00:18:16,119:
Vision
2580
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:16,539:

he
2584
00:18:16,869 --> 00:18:17,529:
stumbled,
2585
00:18:17,529 --> 00:18:17,950:
crashing
2586
00:18:17,950 --> 00:18:18,369:
headlong
2587
00:18:18,369 --> 00:18:18,519:

2590
00:18:19,839 --> 00:18:19,960:
The

2598
00:18:21,490 --> 00:18:22,000:

00:18:23,470 --> 00:18:24,190:
beast.
2605
00:18:24,190 --> 00:18:24,279:
The

2607
00:18:24,700 --> 00:18:25,000:
knocked

Glass

2627
00:18:33,042 --> 00:18:34,390:
a brown-black mass thudded
2628
00:18:34,390 --> 00:18:34,450:

His

2633
00:18:36,549 --> 00:18:36,880:

Ella’s

Ella
