It's all useless anyway. You can't find Penny, you'll never find Penny. Frankly, it's just making you miserable trying. You should've just stayed in The City where you belonged. You thought you'd be able to find Penny on a map...

You're not sure whether to hide or to talk, and in the time you spent waiting around, he calls your name.
"Colton?"
