"The final batch of marks has begun to spread," Logistics Captain Ophiuchus remained silent for a while in the shadows of the culvert before finally speaking to the person in front of him. "From now on, we just need to identify them."
Ray didn't turn around, but kept verifying the scattered data and notes throughout the desk assembled from debris, making sure they matched the archived contents within the data terminal.
"Might not be in there... We've been told by our contacts in Central that they couldn't even trace her path," Ophiuchus attempted to approach the tense and restless Ray. The metallic rings on his body clashed with a resounding echo. In the deserted downtown tunnels, where no one had been monitoring them for a long time, it stood out as an incongruous presence.
Turning away, a moment of silence passed before Ray finally spoke, "Where did P go?"
"I don't know, but she should be back soon."

After plunging into the primal chaos, Sole and Yun were bombarded by a multitude of code in the darkness, causing them to separate. However, for some reason, in this moment, the sensation of freefall and the resonating impact of the surrounding code felt like being embraced and accepted by a gentle body, a familiar feeling that they couldn't quite recall.
In the dense and profound darkness, Sole could distinctly feel his perception expanding infinitely. he could almost hear every minuscule bit of code, hitting him one by one, producing numerous short and resonating cracks.
Suddenly, as he descended further, Sole noticed that the code collisions around him grew more intense, accompanied by faint flashes. Amidst this darkness, he felt no fear. He only felt something gently calling out to them from a distant, yet close place.
"Fight to live at all costs." The voice came from an ambiguous source, but Sole was certain that it was his own voice.
But just as he reached out his hand towards the source of the voice, Sole once again sensed a familiar disturbance rapidly rising behind him – it wasn't the first time he had recognized such a disturbance. It seemed closely connected to the day when the Deity had projected the dream and that small incident in the outskirts several standard days ago, appearing to be one and the same.
