Aeon has been observing Nathan for several minutes now. He was no longer the timid boy he once was, but now traversed the cubefield with confidence--Aeon has not seen the need for any intervention yet. At this point, Nathan seemed perfectly safe and completely capable of defending himself.
Nevertheless, Aeon still followed, ensuring that Nathan did not leave his sight. But as he hopped over a cube to where Nathan was a few seconds ago, there was no sign of the boy. Aeon paused and looked around, before realizing that Nathan was standing right behind him.
"Why are you following me?"
Aeon thought for a moment. "So that I can make sure what happened to Emily doesn't happen to you."
"I don't need your protection. I have my own strengths now. Leave me alone and you will avoid her fate yourself."
With that Nathan jumped across several cubes in a row, seemingly defying gravity. Obviously, the knife's power was both strenghtening and controlling him. Aeon made no move to follow. Well then, suit yourself.
Aeon did a quick scan of his surroundings. Although, as before, there was little indication of any direction, he saw a movement in the distance. He could barely make out the outline of a female figure, accompanied by an irregular object. But it was not the figure itself that troubled Aeon, it was their position--they were standing on the side of a cube.
Aeon made his way towards the figures.
