The tension in Luke's shoulder fell slightly as Anise explained the situation. They couldn't get complacent of course, but at least they had a timeline and one that could be measured by scanners. Turning his eyes on Claude, the young man was happy to hear he wasn't too far gone. But where did that leave Anise? What did her butterfly or whatever look like?

He was about to outright ask when Guy beat him to the chase, albeit a lot more subtly. It was probably for the best that he had jumped in first. "It's up to you," he added in case she felt pressured to leave their group. It couldn't hurt, but it would also be a waste if Guy and he got to the river and found a cure, but no one to try it on. Either way, Luke stopped walking any further. There was no point in dragging her up the institute if she would have to double back to the X-Ray Room.
