As Audri and Val got carried on stretchers into Lasper ship, Audri turned back to the desert and said, “Gerek?” She then leapt off the stretcher, handbells flying everywhere, and ran into the desert, yelling, “Gerek!” And there he was, and she ran towards him, tears pouring from her eyes. But when she leapt into his arms, it seems he was just an illusion of probbaly the desert and the drink, and she fell face-first into the sand with a spufff! and she exclaimed, “oof.” Rodrigo approached her as she lay there in the sand. Audri said, “Well, that wush emberrshing.” Grinning, Rodrigo said, “Think of it more as ‘entshershaining’.”
