(Cassie would've stayed to help. She would've remained calm and herded everyone to somewhere safe once things took a turn for the worse. But Lu Li isn't Cassie - and Cassie isn't here. This is what she's best at: bailing when things got bad.)
Lu Li relies on her systems to trace the path they had taken. They'll go back the way they came. With the rain pouring, the sand they had left behind were becoming clumps of mud. Even as they fled, they would have to be careful - Lu Li especially, given her metallic body. She forces herself to keep a slow pace beside Mitsuha, even as fear courses through her circuits. Don't step in the puddles, don't make a single sound--]
