Isolde shook her head calmly. "Perhaps. But we have no idea where exactly it was sealed. Searching for it would only waste time and expose us to more danger. Our main goal is the Abyssal Bloom."
Azrynn stared into the pitch-black corridor ahead, her face pale. "So… we really have to go even deeper…"
Adam glanced at her and asked gently, "Are you scared, Azrynn?"
Azrynn bit her lip for a moment before answering, her voice determined even if slightly shaky. "No… I can't say I want to go back after we've come this far. Let's continue."
Lilith tilted her head with a small, teasing smile. "If you're that afraid, you can always wait here. We'll come back for you later."
Azrynn's eyes widened in panic. "Ehh?! That's the same as abandoning me! In this kind of darkness… I'd be swallowed whole in seconds!"
Ignis let out a small laugh, her golden eyes gleaming with amusement despite the oppressive darkness around them. "Ehh? So you're admitting you're scared? What a scaredy-cat."
