"A… A trap?!"
There was no need to describe how shaken Testros was, given how wide his eyes opened.
The weight of those words significantly altered his conception of what happened at the end, it added a whole new layer of thoughts he considered not possible.
Albeit, the more he thought about it, the more it made sense, the clues he had found out seemingly pointed out at it.
However, they could also be interpreted in many ways, and the simple possibility that the entire Wall had been sacrificed was simply too inconceivable.
But he had to accept it... He even respected the decision of the soldiers he and Dale met when they entered the Commander's Office.
Perhaps they knew what awaited them, following the Commander into a last stand.
Or maybe not, mayhaps the Commander lied to them just so they could fight with everything they had, despite the fact those cold hallways would be their tomb.
