"W–where is Adam?!" Ophelia's voice rang out, her sudden halt interrupting the group's forward momentum.

"Probably dead," Stephen muttered with a casual shrug.

"Don't joke about that!" Ophelia snapped.

"I'm not joking."

"This can't keep happening. He can't keep up with us at this pace," Julius said, shaking his head. He turned to Luna-Evelyn, seeking her input.
