Ric heard two people walk into the open air baths, but couldn't get a good look at them from his point of view. When he heard Angel's voice he was about to try and get there attention, but the question she asked interested Ric. The second voice belonged to Zemblo's and there was a tone of despair.<br/><br/>. . . . . .<br/><br/>After Zemblo's speech, Ric didn't know how he should react. He felt sorry for Zemblo because he had lost someone dear to him, Ric also felt prideful because someone cared deeply about him,he felt angry that Zemblo had tricked him into breaking up with Zenith, and he felt compassion for Zemblo because he was truly sorry for the things he had done and was willing to sacrifice his life.<br/>Ric decided to forgive Zemblo. Though his actions were wrong, his heart was in the right place.<br/>Ric opened his mouth to speak but only bubbles flew out. Ric splashed violently around trying to get their attention. However, it seemed that they didn't recognize him because Zemblo was trying to catch him and serve him on a platter. Not even Moonshadow, who just entered, appeared to know he was Ric.<span style="font-style: italic">'This isn't good.'</span>Ric thought to himself. Then Zemblo suggested he should swim in a circle if he was Ric. So he swam in a circle.
