'Why did you bring Loveth?' I mentally ask Vage.
'What she says is true. You will need her to stop the demons. She needs to know everything and be just as capable.'
The doorway opens up, and I walk Loveth into the pitch black rectangle. Waiting for my eyes to adjust to the red light, I continue, but Loveth remains rooted where she stands.
"Nick, I can't see," her voice quavers, and I look to see terror in her blind eyes.
"Relax, Loveth. I can see just fine. I promise no one is going to hurt you," I reassure her.
I can see her nod, and I wrap my arms around her bare flesh, hugging her tight to me, as we walk along the suspended walkway, following the arrows in my vision.
'She will need the nanites, too. Make sure she is quiet when you walk in. I have an applicator ready in here.'
