the anthem won't explain it

Had Davey managed to get a little lost this time? Shut up. Shut up. Maybe. Shut up. Wake had wandered away from him, and surely it had to be the older boy's fault. Davey would spin the story that way, after all. The deadbeat hadn't been paying enough attention to him, and allowed him to slip away. That's absolutely the story he's sticking with.

Gazing at the tall ledges and strange sides of the volcano, Davey starts climbing. Hopping from one rock to the next, just like he did in the ravine. The steps here are a little easier to see, barren, outlined against the still-reddish sky. Stark and interesting, he's having a great time.
