"There's nothing we can do now; there are only two paths left to choose from," Tristan, who was usually full of bravado, sighed, devoid of energy.
"One path is to send another person to explore that entrance," Tristan paused, his gaze inadvertently flickering towards Norma as he slowly added, "The other is to survive in this place until we can find the mechanism one day."
"Brother..."
Seeing her usually spirited brother reduced to such a state, Perini's heart couldn't help but ache, especially since they had to live alongside Tristan, the cause of all their misfortunes.
Perini silently sighed.
Why had their luck been so terrible?
First, they encountered Norma, then they entered the Endless Contraption, rumored to have a survival rate of nearly zero, and now they were dealing with Tristan.
"It's possible, but we also can't give up hope."
To the surprise of Yashum and the others, Tristan actually uttered such earnest words.
