The night air washed over the group of three as they emerged from the alleyway, moving towards the city that stood ahead.
The bustling city lights were a stark contrast to the darkness they had just left behind and it was even blinding.
Levi, with Marie, cradled in his arms and Ian by his side, walked through the dimly lit streets, heading towards the heart of the city, leaving behind the slums.
Their destination was the five-star hotel where Levi had been staying, a place of luxury and comfort that Ian and Marie had only dreamed of.
As they approached the towering building, its grandeur left them awestruck.
"Levi, where are we going?" Ian whispered, his voice filled with a mix of curiosity and apprehension.
His mind had still not recovered from what happened back in the abandoned building and he was struggling to comprehend the things happening around him.
It was all too sudden and unexpected.
