People have begun to gather in a large crowd. Some are shouting, some are pointing.

As the ferris wheel gains speed, Calista keeps herself pressed against the back of the cabin as it rocks back and forth, juddering with the increased momentum. Her eyes are wide with terror, her teeth clenched.

"We'we weawwy g-g-gaining speed!" Gemmi shouts over the noise, smiling happily, her voice a slight vibrato because of the shaking. "You m-m-might want to howd onto s-s-somefing!"

"W-w-what in the n-n-name of Eros is ha-a-appen-n-ning?" Calista squeals.

"N-n-noffing yet! T-t-the centrifugal f-f-fowce hasn't---"

There is a creak and a groan. Shortly after, a loud metallic snap.

The ferris wheel falls to the ground with a deafening crash. Immediately it begins trundling forward like a giant wagon wheel, rumbling along. The cabins fortunately don't touch the ground, as they are attached to an inner radial. The crowd scatters in a screaming panic, easily getting out of the way of the relatively slow-moving wheel, but it's still a terrifying sight.

But not to Gemmi. She happily scrambles out the window and grabs a strut, laughing almost maniacally as she rotates with the wheel's movement, until she gets close to the top. She shimmies up the strut, gaining the outer radial, and leaps atop it.

She begins running backwards, her tiny feet pattering at high speed as she uses her high, mobile perch to look around.

She shouts and points. "Thewe they awe!" The wheel is slowly, inevitably rolling towards the beach in the distance.

Calista tries not to hurl.
