Cyan signaled Will.
Will tucked both his hands in his coat and walked inside the space which just opened.
The moment they stepped inside, the distorted space closed behind them.
They found themselves in a narrow corridor lit by dim blue light. The walls were lined with pipes and wiring running along the ceiling.
It smelled like rust and oil here.
This was one of the hidden passages that connected the underground facility of Akashic Record to different parts of the ruined city.
Irene had mapped out every single one of them over the years. They were the only way to move without being detected by the rebel patrols.
Will walked ahead while Cyan followed behind.
"How is Irene holding up?" Cyan asked without turning back.
Will thought for a moment before answering.
"Same as always. She sits beside Leon every day. Talks to him like he can hear her. And…"
Will said nothing for a few seconds. Then asked Cyan.
"Do you think Leon will wake up?"
