[ Maine hasn't set eyes on Carolina yet. He needs to, he knows, but it doesn't feel very urgent. He's not sure why. Doesn't feel like questioning it, either.

He looks back to Drake. Tilts his head slightly as he asks, ]

Stop what?

[ He sees the blue glow from Drake's chest, but he doesn't know what it's causing. ]

I snapped you out of it. It's a stress response, I think, and my power neutralizes it.

[ That should be a revelation. It should send huge waves through Maine's mind as he takes it in and processes it. Instead, he just says, ]

Oh.

[ A stress response that Drake can neutralize. Okay.

He looks from Drake to Ephemera, then back again, still mildly puzzled by their presence. He should really ask Carolina what's going on.

He remembers grabbing Carolina's shirt. He remembers lifting her into the air. He remembers winding up and throwing her full-force against a wall. But he's not … bothered by it. He should be, he knows, but he's not. And he's not bothered by that, either.

Still, he should find her. Make sure that she's okay. He turns again, muttering as he does so, ]

Where's Carolina?

[braveoff]

To your left... I'm going to stop, nice and slow.

[ The glow fades and with it the sense of calm slips away, leaving Maine to feel... whatever he's going to feel. ]
