[ Yoimiya gives one last wave to the Aranara before trotting off with Ajax and Nahida. She too doesn't say anything during their trip but now, she is determined to protect these precious creatures more than ever. The Aranara have shown them kindness beyond anything she's seen, they've accepted the two strange Nara into their village without much question and still continue to be nice to them even after getting spooked. There's no way she could hand them over to Dottore, none of them deserve whatever fate he has in store for them.

With newfound vigor, Yoimiya takes a deep breath and enters the hut, she quickly makes her way over to where Tartaglia stands while Nahida get herself situated. Thankfully, the elder is here too and since they've already shared their story with him, he'll be able to vouch for them with any luck. ]

Absolutely. So um, we keep getting attacked by an entity beyond our control. She's been after us for some time now. To say her powers are terrifying would be an understatement, she can control both the mind and body of a large city. Here recently, she took control over the citizens of Sumeru City just to kill me.

[ There's a brief moment where Nahida looks surprised before her expression melts into one that looks like she's received an answer to a question that's had her perplexed. She brings her tiny hand to her chin to contemplate for a few short seconds. ]

I see... I actually recall sensing a strange presence in Sumeru City a few days ago.
