It's apparent what Ace meant when he said that the darkness problem has been bad lately. The ants lead Yayoi and Red toward the edge of Cepheus territory. The darkness is thick here, almost like a wall outside the nearest torchlight. There seem to be very faint torches sputtering a few yards away, and a few more yards after that, as if the darkness had creep up closer lately and new torches had to be set up.
The ants light their lanterns on a torch and the darkness recedes around them. 'Ready' one chitters. The other says 'No coward'
