X heard Zanek's voice. He got up, and walked over to the slope. "I'll take your apology into consideration. I just...need time." His voice was empty. "I'll come back once I'm ready. Tell them not to come looking for me unless they want a knife up their nose." With that, he walked up the slope past Zanek. (X is planning to stay away for about a week, so naturally, they should ignore his warning.)
