About thirty minutes later, Liam, Maeve, and Julian are on their way to Rhaenas HQ, riding in one of the Monfort Sentinel trucks.
Theo lies on a makeshift bed inside the truck, provided by TC Oscar.
Arthur and Alicia remain at the dungeon site, organizing the evacuation and recovery efforts.
The trio had wanted to stay.
Arthur refused.
"It's better if you go home with Thea. She needs rest, and someone needs to watch over her."
That had been his answer.
One of the doctors had insisted on transferring Theo to Monfort Hospital for further observation, but Liam shut it down immediately after hearing that Theo only needed rest.
No one speaks.
Julian occasionally glances up at the sky.
"It's still expanding?" Liam asks.
"Yeah," Julian replies, not taking his eyes off the window.
Maeve follows his gaze and looks up as well.
"The intensity hasn't dropped either. I don't see any signs of it weakening," she says.
Liam exhales slowly.
