Cara and Arthur quietly slipped out of the safe house, ensuring they weren't seen, as their departure could jeopardize Alsen's safety.
Once the door closed behind them, it was just Sasha and Alsen, the atmosphere thick with unspoken tension, each second stretching into eternity.
"Sasha?" Masha's voice crackled through the comms, shattering the silence.
"Yes?" Sasha responded, shaking his head as if trying to dispel the unease.
"I've been digging, but it seems like someone has erased every trace of ECHO-12 and Beneath the Surface. It's like they never existed at all," Masha said, his voice laced with confusion.
Sasha felt a chill run down his spine. "How is that even possible? It's as if they've been wiped from existence."
"Hold on tight to what I'm about to share next," Masha continued, his voice dropping to a playful whisper.
"Okay," he replied, intrigued.
