After rescuing someone, the rescuer insists on checking a man's chest for Twizzle, a blood-loving Mutarite that would make him explode if it reached his heart. They arrive at a strange shelter where a woman is identified as a priestess; she says she's hungry and is led toward food while the rescuer promises to return. Left waiting alone, the priestess becomes exposed as the situation shifts: a nearby voice warns, "Don't let her escape this time," signaling an immediate attempt to capture her.
