Unfortunately, that had also allowed him to stand behind a big stone step, which had blocked his sight. When he realized that, and came back around, he saw something that he couldn't ignore. The spot which had been holding a bus only a little while ago was now standing empty. There were no broken pieces, no appearances of it nearby, and not a single sign of it being replaced. By any judgement, it was gone.
That meant only one thing, and he had only one reaction to being left behind in a place where going in the wrong direction could have him turned into a girl, or really lost.
