I look to Holy. "Do you mind?"

Holy: I do not.

Louise asks, more from habit than anything else. "I suppose that you aren't a human.  Why is your outfit so similar to the faceless beings in the red gate?"

Sam: Not a human?  I guess?
Sam: And I'm just wearing my school uniform.
Sam: It's not that weird?

"it's more weird that the creatures inside my camp's first gate were wearing that uniform, I guess.  Anyways.  Sorry, I'm being a little rude.  I've been a bit stressed out recently.  We've been going from camp to camp looking for anything that might help my comrades and I.  Any fragments left behind or any information on what is going on and why it happens.  Maybe more people.  Did you have any particular objectives out here?"

Sam: Hmm, not really.
Sam: I'm just sort of walking around.
Sam: I guess it would be good to find a real pillar, or something.
Sam: Finding my girlfriend would be nice too, I guess.

Sam: I'm sorry you're all stressed out.  Can I help somehow?

"We have a pillar at our camp, that's why I'm out here.  we are also looking for other camps right now, so that might lead us to an active pillar.  You have a girlfriend out here?"  Louise begins walking again, continuing the search for evidence and camps.

Sam and Holy follow after you.

Sam: Yeah, her name's Ana.  She's got bright blue hair; hard to miss.
Sam: You seen her?
Sam: She's kinda' weird, but she's a good person.  Sort of.

Louise nods.  "I have seen a woman with blue hair, she's been pretty scarce.  I think her name was Ana?  She gave us a golden wrench and then left.  it's been a couple of days I think.  Or at least, I've been asleep once or twice since I saw her.  Come to think of it, one of our comrades was talking about her earlier too, I think.  So, yes, I've seen her once, I think.  She was in the void outside of our second gate.

Sam: Yeah, that sounds like her.
Sam: Well, she'll be fine even if she wanders off, so I'm not worried.  She's tough.

With someone to talk to, the journey through the void seems to go a bit faster.  This time you ended up at a small camp with only a single building.  Interestingly, there seems to be a tree growing around the pillar, covering it up so much that you can't tell if its living or dead.

"A... tree?  Why is there a tree growing here?"  Louise turns to her companions, in case either might have any idea what is going on.

Holy doesn't appear to know.

Sam: No idea.

Louise approaches the tree and touches it.

As you touch the tree, you feel a voice in your head.

???: Ahhhh...
???: You came...
???: It's too late... but...
???: Take... Don't follow...

A glowing mote of light emerges from the tree where you were touching it, turning into a fountain pen in your hands.  Its definitely a fragment.

As the mote coalesces, the tree creaks, grays, and dies.

"Holy." Louise holds the pen tightly.  "Did you hear that voice?  Was that tree a pillar or... was it a creature?"

Holy walks up to the tree and rests her head on it.

Holy: ...
Holy: I believe it was a Black Beast...

Louise frowns and puts her hand on Holy's shoulder, possibly to comfort Holy, possibly to comfort herself.  Hopefully her spirit would be at peace since she passed on her fragment to somebody.  Louise looks down at the pen.  She'd examine what it did later.

She waits a moment for Holy's sake, if Holy appears to need a moment.

Holy straightens back up.  She appears to have taken whatever moments she needed.

Louise begins walking towards the single building in the area, examining the structure and what is inside.

It appears to be a shack, much like the first building you created in your own camp.  There's a message scrawled on the wall, likely with the very pen you're holding.
