Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Into the Heart of Darkness

The flight to Romania was long and quiet, each member of the team lost in their own thoughts as they soared through the night sky. Ethan sat near the window, staring out at the clouds illuminated by the moonlight, his mind focused on the mission ahead. The weight of responsibility pressed heavily on his shoulders; this wasn't just about stopping the Architect anymore—this was about preventing whatever dark plans they had yet to reveal.

Beside him, Zoe was typing furiously on her laptop, eyes fixed on the screen as she analyzed every bit of data they had gathered. Her dedication to uncovering the truth was unwavering, but Ethan could see the exhaustion etched on her face. They were all running on fumes, but there was no time for rest.
