The tunnel leading up twisted and turned in many sections, sometimes making Kana and Kori walk in a complete circle before finally going higher. The path behind them was frozen over as they walked.
It took about an hour before they finally reached the top. The entire time Kana was telling Kori about her family as well as the other elementals who were currently restricted. Kori latched on to each of her words. It was a fun experience learning all about this person who came and brought her out of her loneliness. For the first time in her life, she was able to understand the joy of being in the company of another. The last person was nice as well, but they died before they got to talk.
