Only once Diarmuid is sure Rhea is sitting safely does he climb up into a chair himself, "He is right! The mi-as-ma is very strong and dangerous. It makes sense that people can't contact us right now!"

When Yu asks his question, Diarmuid looks from his friend to Rhea. The boy had wanted more details to what Cynthia had done too, but he didn't feel like it was right to ask. That is why he doesn't say anything else. He will wait to see if she answers the question without adding anymore pressure to her.
