"Rifts?... You mean the blotches?" Umbra tears a live branch off a tree nearby and tosses it into the rift.

"Could you hurry up? I can't fire light forever, and you know what'll happen at this rate..."
"I'm going as fast as I can! I don't really mind going unconscious for a while, anyway- just demanifest when I'm in bed, okay?"
