Peter Luna dies:
"Ah, I cloud over! What are these things around me? Five shadows, five voices? I knew them for a while, but now they dim out."
The aura of Peter Luna was quite visible, aided by the aura-amplifier of Rowena Charteris. It was a quivering and quaking loop.
It expanded suddenly, and the five persons stepped through it. It collapsed and extinguished itself then, and Peter Luna was dead.
And five happy-sad time-achievers went with lively step down the 'Road to Yesterday.' They could have gone down it five seconds before this, but it does no harm to fulfill a ritual even when it is rank superstition.
