--- Lily ---
Lily tried to see what was going on below them, but she wasn't tall enough to see around the plane's wings. Marigold, seeing Lily's adorable attempts to watch below, picked up the Memphis and set Lily down on top of her head. Lily let out a small huff but didn't complain too much. She was still close enough to provide mana to her plane, and with a bit of manipulation of her shadow, the mana cost went back to what it was while she was sitting down.
March was clearly in the lead… though that actually raised other questions. March had made it all the way to the far checkpoint, the one that originally set off the cascade leading to the big finale and the finish line… but nothing was happening. Lily wasn't sure why that was. Perhaps it had to do with how tired March looked.
