Too late, she realizes [[LeftYourLifesaverBehind her headband is gone (it had been snagged by a spring vine)]] and that the Clinging Creepers are slithering toward her.

Elmer notes that this seems to happen a lot, and both admit they've never actually ''visited'' Albuquerque.

-->'''Speck:''' ''[panting]'' How... did you even... get up here?\\
'''Realm:''' Oh, there's this maze through the middle of the mountain, did you know? This is where it dropped me.\\
'''Speck:''' Wait. Are you talking about the Cave of Flames?\\
'''Realm:'': I mean, I have no idea what it's called, but...\\
'''Speck:''' ''[staring]'' The Cave of Flames is impassable.\\
'''Realm:''' Seemed pretty passable to me.\\
'''Speck:''' No, I'm serious. It's ''literally'' impassable. The only reason I was ever able to get through was because I had Ezlo changing my size for me so I could fit through all the little cracks and stuff. How did you ''get'' here?\\

'''Speck:''' We were in the library! We were literally on the other side of the country! ''How'' do you get from a ''library'' to a ''volcano''?!\\
'''Realm:''' Well, I ''think'' I might have taken a left when I should have taken a right?\\
'''Speck:''' ...the library only has five rows of shelving units. You can literally see the other end of the building from any given point inside. ''How'' did you... just... ''how?''\\
'''Realm:''' In my defense, I thought I was going in a straight line at the time.\\
