As Rein began climbing up the ladder, thousands of thoughts were running through his head, all of them about the whereabouts to where this ladder would lead them. He looked back down at Yusuke for a brief moment, who didn't notice due to the dark, then continued up the ladder, slightly hesitating.
When he reached the top, he held his hand out to the hatch above them, pressing it against the handle as he was about to open it. He took a deep, calming breath, then regained composure in his complexion before opening it.
As the secret entrance creaked open, inches of light invaded the tunnel gradually as the two under Rein squinted their eyes. Rein quietly emerged from the hole, followed shortly by Chuzea, who was followed by Yusuke.
