<sub>[Somewhere in the forest, along the path that leads from the village to the lake, lies a nondescript figure in faded blue clothes. Seems like he was just dumped there, really, as his right arm looks like it's bent at a weird angle. Anyway, Genis is unconscious, but not mortally wounded, as there don't seem to be any gaping wounds on him aside from a couple of cuts and scratches. Curiously, however, he's covered with quite a number of dark bruises.

He doesn't move, save for the occasional shiver from the cold, and the unsteady rise and fall of his chest in jagged, shallow breaths.]</sub>

[This is Arche flying around on her broom near the lake, where she's been spending a lot of her time recently. She may or may not have gone looking for you without telling anyone, Genis. A fact that's about to pay off as she flies above a certain silver and blue lump.] Is that... Genis? GENIS!

[She flies down to the fallen boy, a look of clear worry and shock on her face.]

[Now here's something more unexpected. Since Albert has been trying to get Raine to relax a little by having them go out riding periodically on his horse since Genis's disappearance, it is this particular trip through the forest that inadvertently brings them close to this location.]

Albert -- there's someone there.
