There was a long pause in the Infirmary. Neither Phi or Arche had spoken after the disturbing revelation of the tattoo's meaning. Faint snapping sounds from a broken light fixture on the ceiling could be heard in this unsettlingly quiet room, as well as the soft exhales from the two.
Arche eventually broke the silence, "Well, we can't stay here all day," he said in a low voice, his gaze averted from Phi onto a random inatimate object. Clearly, the the events that had transpired in the alternate timeline weighed heavily on his mind.
Phi glanced at him, "You gonna be okay?"
Arche stood up and opened the door, "Yeah, I guess. I mean, I knew about Wily conquering the world in the alternate timeline... but, not in this level of detail. It's just..."
"It's quite a bit to take in, I know," Phi nodded as she followed him.
He rubbed his head and tried to put Phi's revelations in the back of his mind, for now. This wasn't the time.
"Where'd everyone go?" Arche walked around the Fxenodrome, with Phi right beside him.
"Well, after that exhausting battle, I'd imagine they'd either go to the Infirmary or someplace to eat. Since we just came from the former, only one option remains," Phi stated.
They walked for a couple more minutes until they approached a rather large area that seemed to be a cafe, soon spotting the group.
"Yep, that's them. Boy, they're easy to spot from a mile away," Phi observed.
Kit waved them over and pulled out two chairs next to her.
"Sorry we're late to the party I didn't know we were having," Arche said half-jokingly.
