They raced down the torch-lit corridor with the sound of chaos fading behind them. When they reached the end of the corridor it split into three passageways.

It brought me back. I attacked you, didn’t I?”“Yeah.”“I’m sorry.”“I forgive you,” Janner said. “And I forgive you for the next time, too, and the time after that."
