Reno took the phone and disabled the alarm. Still, it wasn't like Elena would have set it off accidentally -- Tseng and Rude would inevitably be on their way.

"We gotta move," he said, tucking Elena's phone into his inside jacket pocket. "We got maybe an hour t' get as far away from this cave as possible -- an' that's a generous estimate."

He sighed, shook his head, and rested a hand on Sheena's shoulder. "It's okay, Sheena -- she's my coworker." Meeting eyes with Elena, though, he affirmed, "That will still blow up, though, if you move -- sorry."

Shaking his head, he rubbed the back of his neck. "Things're... complicated. Elena, what year is it?"

He had a hunch, based on what she'd said to Sephiroth. How many times. He assumed she'd have finished it with do we have to kill you? Which meant that Seph had died here at least twice now -- and, since Elena said Edge, that city had already been built.

"... How's Rufus?" He looked at her hard, concerned. If his hunch was right, she could tell by looking into his eyes what he meant: Geostigma.
