midas is kind and he holds me so tight

Only twenty minutes to sleep
But you dream of some epiphany

Soh waited, coaching the girl quietly through her panic, until her breaths started to slow and her eyes lost a bit of their glassy fear. It was enough that Soh could extend her own awareness, noting the muted sounds of the city outside the alley, the smell of rotting food by the trash cans, the feel of the sun beating down on them even in the alleyway.

The first hint of something strange appearing was the scent of something rich and smoky - something that somehow reminded Soh of firewood, despite the undertones of something alive. So when the girl's attention shifted, Soh's silver gaze followed the stranger's to alight on something strange, something that existed as a splotch of vivid green against the dark stones of the alley. Soh blinked, confused. Where had the plant come from, and what was its purpose? She'd never seen its like before in Stormbreak, and its appearance around the same time as the tremors made her uneasy. Still, she couldn't make a logical connection between a small plant and an earthquake.

"I'm not sure," she said, frown furrowing her brow. "I've never seen a plant like that before."

Just one single glimpse of relief
To make some sense of what you've seen
