Marissa freaks out at the thought of this. “No!! We gotta be positive!” She says. “Yeah, I think he could put up a fight” says Vincent, confidently. As their discussion ensues, someone recognizes them and greets them from a distance. “Hi, miss adventurer! Did you change your mind on the knife?” she says.

The merchant seemed to recognize his drawing right away. “Oh, green poncho boy!” She said. “He was hanging out with another kid.” Marissa and the rest were surprised by this detail. “Another one?” Said Vincent. “What did he look like?”
