"I know a life force down there; she...maybe.....has a crush on me, but I never did anything to fuel her feelings." Lance was so panicked that his fingers started to tremble. Scared that she misunderstood, about being unable to hug her right now, that they would fight or get into a cold war.

"Mara Weiss...." Lance stated, the premonition that something was wrong with her tone came true when she only asked for a name this casually.

Lance, overwhelmed by all the anxiety, felt the urgent need to pass out, with his heart hammering in his chest and his hands sweating.
