[Alice presses her lips together and is surrounded by many trees. Her eyes are a bit red and she swallows and takes a deep breath. She's clearly trying to have a "stiff upper lip" as it were.]

I... don't mean to worry anyone...

But I do believe I'm lost.

If I show someone everything around me, might you please point the way back, perhaps?

[She shakes her head.]

The sea was over an hour ago. The only thing near me is the mushroom boulder.

Nero... it-it took almost the whole day to get there. I'm sorry. I didn't know it would take this long. [She wipes at her eyes, tears falling.] Nero, I'm scared.

[Leaving the house now in a hurry. Try not to get seasick from all the shakycam as he goes.]

It's okay, Alice. I promise it'll be okay. Just stay where that mushroom boulder is and be brave until I get there. Can you show me the boulder on your phone, so I know exactly what it looks like?

[Alice wipes her eyes, sniffles and turns the phone around to show Nero the mushroom boulder.]

This is the boulder.

... Nero, I'm really sorry.

I promise it's okay. Just hang tight, but hide and send me a message if you see anything dangerous.

[He's not trying to scare her more, but he also doesn't want her to think she won't be found if she's forced to hide.]

I made a giant sunflower! [It had been Walter's suggestion that she make a marker of some sort. She shows off the 14-foot-tall sunflower that is currently blowing in the breeze.]

I'm very good at climbing trees. Should I go up into one? The Bear Firs can't get me in one, can they?
