After treating their wounds and giving them reassurance, Juli sent the kids out of the forest. As for Eli, he stayed to watch over the labyrinth's entrance, afraid that it would disappear if his eyes took off for a second.
There was another thing that bothered him.
If this event happened here, then it should have also happened in the original game story. So how come the labyrinth was only discovered years later? Wouldn't the kids have told everyone about it? Or did something happen to them?
This must have been the butterfly effect at work. It reminded Eli how fickle the future could be. His sudden appearance in Florentine might have set off even more small events elsewhere, ones he would never notice until they hit him.
Before long, Juli arrived at the site, sweating profusely as she tried to catch her breath.
"So? What do you want to do about this?"
Eli touched dirt, fingers running through blades of grass.
"We run it, of course."
"What!?"
