While Naomi works, Allura continues to heave the debris — working slower and more carefully than before, keeping mindful of anything that might collapse back into the hole. Given how some of the pieces of debris overlap, it requires a surgical application of her strength, like a high-stakes game of Jenga.

At some point, it becomes clear that one piece is far too large to move, even with her strength — the most that she'll be able to do is lift the end that's pinning him. But doing so is risky, considering how else might move. Perhaps if she braced it with her back while she lifted...

She formulates a plan, and comes to a simple conclusion: She can only lift it for a few moments, so they'll have to make it count.

"How is he doing? Would it be safe to move him, just a few feet?"
