She reaches for Allison at the exact moment Allison reaches for her. Once they have a firm grip on each other, she begins to move in earnest. Forces herself to ignore the trembling in her bones, the new wave of ice-turned-water intensifying the cold she already felt. It doesn't, can't, matter until they've left these goddess-forsaken aqueducts.
Before they can turn a corner, Emilia hears it. Hears it before she can see.

She reaches for Allison at the exact moment Allison reaches for her. Once they have a firm grip on each other, she begins to move in earnest. Forces herself to ignore the trembling in her bones, the new wave of ice-turned-water intensifying the cold she already felt. It doesn't, can't, matter until they've left these goddess-forsaken aqueducts.
Before they can turn a corner, Emilia hears it. Hears it before she can see.
Desperate, anguished wailing.
