"I can't believe it—we made it back!"
At Arieda's exclamation, I sigh lightly in exasperation. She makes it sound like we made it purely due to luck—it is, unfortunately.
She is lucky that she is a princess, otherwise I would have already flipped her upside down for her daring exclamation in the beginning. She has utterly fooled me by making such a convincing exclamation.
"Alright, don't mess with me, Arieda. I can't still see anything but darkness."
Although she says that we have made it, I have to make sure that we really have. I can't just believe what she says after what happened on our way here.
Looking around, I don't see any difference between our current position and the way we have passed. It is still as dark as before—I can't see anything in front of me—and feels no different than the way we have walked through.
