Shadow was so deep in the memory, he repeated her question.

"What makes me mad?" He mumbled.

"Everything!" Max said, coming up from behind him.

This startled Shadow, in reaction, he jumped to his feet and turned around to see his friend.

Panting, Shadow growled. "Don't! Ever! Do That!"

Max held his hands up defensively. "See what I mean by 'Everything'?

Shadow continued his panting. "That's not funny." He said calmly this time.

Max looked down at Shadow's scribbles. "Why did you draw the Tower?"

"What?" Shadow said with confusion. He then looked down at his drawing. "Shit!"

Max then looks at Shadow with concern. "Are we - ?"

"No, Max...were not going there!" He retorted.

"Then why did you -"

"I JUST - !" Shadow then caught himself, he forced the negative emotions to back down. He then spoke lightly. "I don't know...."

Max nodded his head. "Okay. If not there, then where?"

Shadow knelt down and wiped away the drawing, making the patch of dirt clear of any markings. "Here." He patted a spot next to him. Max knelt.

Shadow scribbled his original drawing and pointed in the direction facing east. "Remember the spot we went to that took us forever to come back from?"

"Yeah?"

"That's where we're going."

Max nodded again. "Should I rally them up?"

Shadow shook his head. "No, I will."
