Lucita was brought aboard Air Destroyer Goliath, which departed for Laputa right as the sun began to rise. She was in a metal-plated room with no windows, which had a cot bed with rough and threadbare bedding, a small table, two chairs, and a lightbulb hanging from a chain on the ceiling.

Muska entered the room shortly after, looking at her with a grin that didn’t reach his eyes.
