Lucas is grateful when he opens his door to an empty hallway. He'll be happier once he finds Boney but just being alive is great for now.

It doesn't take long, however, for him to pick up his dog's thoughts in a nearby staircase.

"Coast is clear, boy," he calls, still adjusting to the sound once again coming through a Pigmask helmet.

Boney comes down the stairs, his yellow Pigmask helmet looking particularly ridiculous on him. But boy is he glad to see Lucas, especially since he has company.

"We're s'pposed to be looking for some monkeys, or at least that's our story if any Pigmasks ask. They're hidin' somewhere in this lab and prob'ly eager for a way out. And keep a lookout for..."

He winces under his mask as he thinks about the Ultimate Chimera.

"...well, you'll know it when y'see it."

Lucas nods, smiling a little.

"I wonder if she came to Duster, too," Kumatora says thoughtfully.

"Maybe..." Lucas wonders. "Or maybe his Mom would come to him."

Kumatora nods and then quirks her lips a little in thought.

"Y'know, I just realized none of us have our Moms with us anymore," she states.

"You don't, Kumatora?" the boy asks.

"Nah. The Magypsies have raised me since I was a little squirt."

There's a pause after that admission. Then Lucas goes to give Kumatora another hug.

Dinah says nothing, but she does make a mental note to hug her Mom as hard as possible when she gets home.
