Maya sat.

There wasn't anything else she could do, really. Get the other two out of the cage? Yeah, lovely and all, but that didn't make any further progress on getting them the hell out of there. What could she do? Maya was just a girl from the city... with spiritual abilities, yes, but when she thought about it hard enough, they were completely useless in this situation.

"Mia..." she found herself muttering softly, hugging her knees tighter to her chest. For some reason Maya believed that if Mia were here, she would know exactly how to get them out of this dreadful place of a lab. Of course she could, her older sister could do everything. But she was dead, and Mia wasn't around. Maybe not even spiritually anymore-- Maya was in a completely different world now. She found herself slowly wishing she could leave. She didn't want to be in Paixao anymore.

A soft sound interrupted her train of thought. Maya looked up, listening intently. A rhythmic 'clack' was gradually becoming louder, and it seemed to be heading towards the lab.
