Only after leaving the room did Pom-Pom realize that Akivili had sent them away.
Unable to figure out why, they could only assume the Aeon wanted to talk to Eric.
Pom-Pom made their way to the empty Observation Car.
The explosion had destroyed quite a few Nameless passengers' rooms, but fortunately, not many people had been injured.

The Aeon carried a Medical Kit in one hand and a potted plant in the other.
