Later that night, Norah defended herself against her pursuers, incapacitating them one by one. She didn’t kill
them, but left them severely injured. These men weren't professional assassins from any particular organization.
She interrogated Hanley, who was still conscious, to understand the situation. It turned out someone had hired

They had lost Marlin’s backpack while running. Norah stood up, gathered sbranches from outside, and lit
them with her lighter.
The soft yellow glow filled the cave.
Perhaps it was the light—and Norah's presence—that calmed Marlin and stopped his shivering.
