Days had passed. We kept watching over the chasm and providing protection for the lab, while secretly investigating it and its scientists.
The team had fallen into a routine: Elyss meticulously monitored the readings from the chasm, I conducted training drills to keep us sharp, and Koyuki and her father took turns patrolling the perimeter.
But beneath the surface, an undercurrent of tension simmered. The vision I had seen—the image of Rosemary in battle armor—haunted me, a constant reminder of the stakes involved. I couldn't shake the feeling that our research into the chasm was connected to the darkness threatening our world.
Each day felt like a tightrope walk, balancing the need for vigilance against darkness and keeping Elyss's ambitions in check. This lab helped us monitor the Abyss, but it could also lead to darkness descending on our world.
