As they reach the bottom of the manhole, Alex and Megharmo find themselves trapped in a confined space, surrounded by the sounds of their pursuers searching above.
whispers reassuringly Don't worry, Megharmo. We'll get through this together. Just stay calm and trust me.
B-but..will they find us..?
whispers determinedly I won't let them find us. I'll protect you, no matter what it takes. We'll find a way out of here.
