Anya gets ready to chase after Adrianna, but stops herself. "Y-you know what? Forget it! You're gonna kill me sooner or later. I know it." She starts walking back to her cabin, but then she turns to everyone else. Her glasses are slightly fogged up with tears. "Sorry for snappin' at you guys. It's just... look. Luke clearly has Eki and I at his mercy, like it did all those months ago. Anythin' can happen to us at this point. I've been through something like this before. I shouldn't be scared, but at the same time... is there anything stopping me? At this rate, unless a miracle happens... me and Eki are powerless against him. But you guys aren't. You can still stop him. And... and..." Anya sobs a bit. "I don't know what else to say."
Eki runs up to Anya. "Anya, uh... i-if it makes you feel better, I'm scared too."
"I figured, but it's nice to know that I'm not alone. "
"...I... feel like I failed as well. No matter how hard I tried, I wasn't persuasive enough. Even revealing our role wasn't enough, and we've painted targets on ourselves in our process."
"It wasn't your fault, Eki. Really, the only person who's at fault is this Luke dude. And Adrianna. But it's hard not to feel guilty."
"...You're not wrong."
"...Vistin' the old world was fun, but I wish we didn't incur the wrath of another evil voice. At least he hasn't tried taking control of me, but still. I just want to go home at this point."
"I agree. Eki and Anya stand in silence for a second, with each others' arms wrapped around their backs.
"Eki... you wanna do something fun? Wait, comforting. It doesn't have to be crazy goodtimes fun, just... something laid back, y'know. I think we need some comfort before... you know."
Just as Eki was about to say yes, Grunkle Ed tells them about the FBI's visit to town.
"The Federal Bureau of Investigation? Sounds like it comes from a mystery novel! Wait, it's a real government agency. To be fair, they have a good reason for investigating Ed! That man gives weird vibes. I'm still up for helping him though!"
"I agree, but... uh... I think we should investigate Mr. Groves after this."
"Hm... What do you think will happen if the FBI finds ut we're time travelers? Or that we have cape gliders? Or that we're magical?"
"Uh... we should avoid finding out." Eki sighs. "I'm reluctant to help out Mr. Groves, but at the same time, we can avoid dying tonight if we impress him."
"Sounds good!" Anya turns to Ed. "HEY ED! I'm willin' to help you and all, but why can't you do this sabotagin' stuff yourself?"
"Anya, it'll be your fault if he makes us do extra work."
Eki runs up to Anya. "Anya, uh... i-if it makes you feel better, I'm scared too."
"I figured, but it's nice to know that I'm not alone. "
"...I... feel like I failed as well. No matter how hard I tried, I wasn't persuasive enough. Even revealing our role wasn't enough, and we've painted targets on ourselves in our process."
