Manfred came back just in time. Something's happening, but we don't know what. Lem isn't there and neither is Creek. We hope nothing bad has happened to either of them!
Creek and Manfred look to be in a serious discussion. She might need some time to think, but she also loves Manfred. It might be good for her to keep him around to help her get through things.
Manfred has a lot to think about, and it doesn't seem like Xylda is giving him peace. Maybe if Xylda would give him a minute, he'd make a decision on what to do.
