Your POV:
We continued our journey to level 3999, but after some time from the moment we left level 70, our almond water supply was too low to continue further. The reason for that was simple. Even though traveling through the Blue Channel was extremely fast when compared to going through levels normally, it still took a long time to travel to further llevels. Depending on their size, going from one level to another could last a few minutes, but it could also take hours or even days.

Because of that, we often had to make stops in different levels, just to drink and eat something. We were lucky if a safe level was nearby, but there were also times when we had to stay on a dangerous one. Luckily this time we were close to a level with a lot of almond water, but unfortunately for us, it wasn't completely safe. Nights in here were dangerous, so we had to hurry to fill all of our containers during the day. That was our plan atleast, because when we entered the level, it turned out the night had just begun.

- I guess 682 used up our entire reserve of luck in Th3 Sh4dy Gr4y... - Abel said with disappointment and pulled out his sword. - I will kill some entities, and you guys go collect almond water or find a way to quickly travel to another level.

He didn't have to say it twice, and together with Young-Jae we went to a nearest fountain, to fill our containers, and also talk about a few things.

- Y/N? - She began the discussion. - Can I ask you something?

- Sure, what do you need? - I replied while filling another bottle with almond water.

- When we come back to the real world, what are you going to do? - She asked me curiously.

- I haven't thought about that. - I responded after a short break. - We will probably have to finish our mission of recontaining all of you...

- And if I asked you to bring me to Serpent's Hand, so they could hide me somewhere from the Foundation, would you do that for me?

- I... I am sorry Young-Jae, but I am loyal to the Foundation, and I cannot do that. O5 council would terminate me if I even considered doing that.

- So even after this entire journey, you are still going to stick to the rules?

- I can tell them everything that happened in here, and at best I will be able to reduce the containment procedures for all of you, but I doubt they are going to agree on anything else.

- So we won't be able to meet anymore...

- Probably not... And that is going to hurt me the most Young-Jae, because I really enjoyed talking to you.

She sighed, turned around, and spoke to me again:

- You still see me as a monster, don't you?
