Nepeta, meanwhile, had finished making her back to the white room, after fighting her way through a handful of Nightmares in the process. Conveniently, the book in question was easy enough to spot even on a second time through, and it was the work of barely a moment's thought to pick it up.

Fortunately, it wasn't any great difficulty to carry it back to the room they'd started in, even with the fact that the Nightmares were back. If nothing else could be said about having a sylladex it certainly made hands-free carrying a lot easier.
