They appear in midair, visible out of a few thirtieth-floor apartments.
One starts to fall. The other catches her by the arm, flings out - wing-shapes of light - and slows her, spiraling down until they're at street level.

They are not sure where the children are when they aren't being trotted out for brief awful visits.
Brief awful visits are in thus and such a place in this city, and there in that one, and so on. Penumbra is not sure what exactly she would be doing?
"If we know where they're being kept, and if they're being mistreated, then we could ask any of the Shadows if they'd like to take them to the rainforest."
Penumbra is not super sure about this.
It sounds scary.
A Shadow might be willing to go but they can't turn completely invisible.
Yeah. Shines can turn invisible but they can't travel like Shadows. Penumbra is very special.
Well, if they want to travel to Biyan by airplane Isel can go visit Biyan with them. It's supposed to have good seafood.
This Shine will go to Biyan by airplane!
And the Shine (...Elementals mostly don't have or want names, they are just their kinds) goes and hides and follows children and then comes back and cries.
"I wanted to heal them but I could only do one and it would have been so bright."
"Some of the Shadows might want to move them. Then we could get them healing - elemental or just regular -"
Sniffle. Nod.
The Shine goes and tracks all the remaining repositories of red children and tells the Shadows where they are.
"Biyan's going to drown in garbage, lots of people are going to die. I'm not saying we should try to deter them from rescuing tortured children. Just."
"The reds aren't going to keep working once the kids are free. They'll probably flee, Biyan'll probably kill them, Biyan won't be able to handle its pollution and everyone'll stop trade with them, someone'll overthrow the government internally or a neighbor'll conquer them -"
