Summary

In thirty minutes, the Bridge at the end of the world will be destroyed. It will go like this: there will be one explosion; then there will be two explosions; then there will be a terrible whistling, a shriek from beyond the stars; and then... silence. And thirty minutes after that the Bridge will fall again. And again. And again. And unless Olala, Damien, and Arum can race up that Bridge and find their way back to a stable present before their thirty minutes are up, this end of the world might claim them, too. Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay. (Trigger warnings can be found at the bottom of this episode description.)

and how it prevents him from engaging in a simple conversation with his fellow beasts.

1:05.0

Superiority! You are the one who's here!

1:09.0

Child!

1:11.0

I feel so sick again, sir.

1:14.0

Sick all the way down to my bones, my lord.

Her skin is shifting. If you have been watching her more closely.

1:20.0

I have done all I can to be civil, Lord Arum, but these arguments you manufacture are really too.
