The Malevolent Being whisks the Grey Painter away and heads to her next destination, leaving Altador to fall to ruin.
Luxinia
Nyx, I know you want to go after Ozzy right now, but there are people here who need us.
Nyx
I... I know. I know we have to help them, but...
Tavi
...
Nyx
But I need to be alone right now.
Luxinia
W-wait, Nyx! Where are you going?
Nyx
I’m going to go blow off some steam. Fight some shades or something. I don’t know. Anything. I just—I just know I have to get away from you guys for a while, before I say anything else I'll regret.
Tavi
...
Luxinia
But—
Nyx
Luxinia, please!
Nyx
Look. I know you’re trying to help, but I just lost my brother again. I couldn’t save him. I’ve failed him over and over and over again, and I’m angry and frustrated. It’s better for me to be alone right now—and we can cover more ground that way, anyway.
Luxinia
...Okay.
Luxinia
Then Baelia, Tavi, and I will go this way...
Tavi
...Actually, Lux, I think I’m gonna go alone too.
Baelia
Tavi...?
Tavi
Nyx is right. We can cover more ground if we split up. And I...
Tavi
I think I hear someone calling for help over there! I have to go help them!
Baelia
Tavi, wait...!
Baelia
This can’t be happening...
Luxinia
Baelia...?
Baelia
It can’t be her... I thought...
Baelia
And now everyone’s splitting up, and I... I...!
Luxinia
Baelia!
Baelia
I’m sorry, I...
Baelia
I just don’t know if I can handle all of this. If she’s...
Luxinia
She?
Baelia
...
Baelia
Nevermind. I just... Let’s just do what we can.
Luxinia
...Okay. But you know you can talk to me if you need to, right?
Baelia
...
Luxinia
Don’t worry, Baelia. You don’t have to say anything if you’re not ready. Just know that I’ll stick with you ‘til the end.
Baelia
...Thank you, Luxinia.
Luxinia
Anytime.
Luxinia
Are you coming with us too, Juni?
Juni
Yip...
