As they navigated the underground passage, Jace led the way with a determined stride. The confined space seemed to stretch endlessly, with only the dim illumination offering a glimpse of their surroundings.
Jace cast a quick glance back at Itzy, her hand still firmly in his. "There's a way out just ahead," Jace reassured, his voice a steady anchor in the uncertainty that surrounded them. His eyes, sharp and vigilant, scanned their path for any signs of danger.
Itzy, still shaken from the recent explosion, followed closely. The echoes of their footsteps resonated through the tunnel, each step taking them further away from the orchestrated chaos above. The air inside the passage felt cool and damp, a stark contrast to the tense atmosphere they had left behind.
