Mapleik: I'm going to try reclaiming... m-my home.
Yienna: As part of our agreement, I will help you find your friend.
Garreth: Thank you.

Mapliek had given up thus concluding the sparring match. But you were shocked to see what Yienna was capable of... A "match" with her would have been suicide no matter how you slice it.

However Yienna has agreed to help you! It's time to rescue Skully!

>Garry: Shout "Treat Yienna!" In case any of the reaper kids are nearby. Then head back to Emily's house.

Sadly this doesn’t work since Garry hasn’t assigned any reapers to follow him right now. Yelling Boo and asking them to heal yienna might work though, if they’re actually around. 

>Garry: Tell Malipek the situation with skully and where you’ll be likely to find her. Also ask yienna if she’ll come along too, now that you’ve given her a new pal to spar with.

Actually hang on... 

>Garry: quickly return to emily’s House and message Lucia to tell her everything is okay.

What will you do now?

Garry: Your shadow can do incredible things if properly tapped into. Through all the cycles of the construct you’ve been through, there might be a workable map stored in your subconscious. If you’re comfortable with it you may want to try that, if you don’t feel like your conscious memory is good enough for the task.

Samielle uses Deliverance, Azriel and Lucas averted their eyes so no one is affected!

Both Azriel and Lucas are stunned by the flash. Azriel will not survive another hit!
