บท 561: Chapter 561: Unexpected Ally

I stumbled a few times, trying my best to stay focused while my body fought to understand what had changed. No more the casual grace of Shaylee's form, or the speed, either. I struggled to keep up, forcing the others to slow. Only Quaid seemed to have the same issues.

Which would turn into a few hours, I had no doubt.
