[ Ryo knows they probably can't carry Akira all the way back to town, but he tries not to think about it right now, focusing on getting out of the immediate area at least—away from guardian land, where the trees look twisted as if in agony and the very air feels ominous like it's screaming at them to leave.
As they move away from the clearing and deeper into the woods, the air starts feeling lighter somehow, the trees brimming with life instead of looking gnarly and on the verge of death. The path is surprisingly easy, wih nothing standing in their way, though they don't seem to be getting any closer.
Their surroundings are as colorless as ever, but it's oddly peaceful out here. ]
