Randy lifted his head and considered the situation. "Okay."
He took a deep breath, and trying to be practical, changed to a question he had. "Okay. If you're the only hope the world has…"
He gestured vaguely to where Renan's bedroom was. "Should you not be in there right now? Every second you spend here is a second you're not doing whatever it is you need to do."
"The game has an eight hour daily limit," Renan replied. "I can't stay in indefinitely no matter how much I want to. I'm forced out after eight hours."
Randy deflated slightly. "Oh."
Renatta had been quiet for a moment, but now she moved closer to Renan. She lightly held his hand, staring into his eyes. "Why didn't you tell us sooner?"
