บท 286: The Lab

Like a siren's song, Laz was captured.

He had no idea why.

As he went forward, Laz walked in between buildings and around piles of rubble without stopping. His walked took him far beyond the border area of the community square type area that the gate was situated at. Despite this, Laz knew were he was going and didn't slow down.

"Are you alright?" Ruby asked, concerned. She saw that Laz didn't seem like himself at the moment. HIs eyes shown with an unnatural light that scared her a bit, but his even breathing and calm demeanor helped to calm those fears.

"Yes, but... apparently I have to go somewhere and I'm not being given a choice." Laz was finally able to talk as long as he kept moving the way he was beckoned. Although Ruby was still worried, she took comfort in the fact that Laz didn't seem worried.
