Regroup With Others
[Ace POV],
Emma and I both took a deep breath of fresh air as soon as we returned to the surface.
"Looks like you were right about the time difference in the dungeons," Emma said just after this happened as I nodded and replied to what she said.
"I expected it," I simply said, and Emma nodded and looked at me to continue speaking, but after a few seconds of silence, Emma withdrew her gaze from me as the air around us became awkward.
Seeing this, I ignored her actions and observed my surroundings, realizing that I couldn't find Anna or Chris, but I did find some footsteps on the ground.
Emma and I who saw this followed the trail of the footsteps, cautiously observing our surroundings and preparing ourselves not to be caught in an unexpected situation.
