Kapitel 174: One Step Away

'Can I survive out there?' Mark asked himself.

His eyes locked on the invisible outside, hidden by the unending snowstorm.

'Without anyone... Alone... Can I...?'

Shivers.

Caused by excitement or fear, he did not know.

'New World... New Monsters... New... Everything... Against... Me-'

"So." Elisa interrupted his thoughts. "Why did you keep the fact that you could talk a secret?"

She walked by Mark's side and lay her hands on the platform's edge.

Ouch-

She was forced to pull them away a second later.

It was freezing cold.

"Wasn't a secret. I just... Didn't talk."

"Mm." She nodded.

The two stared at the outside.

The endless land covered by snow that they had sought after for so long.

"Really would've liked a nicer location, like a forest or something. The frozen door hinges gave it away, but still. A bit anticlimactic, don't you think?"
