Johnny backs up until he's caught against a tree, and by then it's too late to get anywhere with the chimaera boxing him in. He jerks in absurd surprise when Zagreus speaks, glancing toward the voice for just a second, too nervous to take his eyes from the monster for very long, darting from head to head in petrified disarray.

It's Nova who finally speaks, blurting out lines so familiar they might as well be scripted: "What do you want? Why can't you just leave us alone?!" Johnny clutches her tighter, begging her to be silent. There's nothing they can say except Gabriel, there never is except Gabriel. It doesn't matter. By the same sort of non-logic by which he couldn't run, he can't save himself.
