The wind and snow linger at the entrance, weeping.
Entering the quiet passage, a faint oil lamp casts its light on the walls, stretching into the depths.
A trail of unmelted snow likewise extends inward.
The connection with the Shadow Church deepens once more.
Lu Li examines the first oil lamp.

A thin layer of dark kerosene remains at the bottom, soon to dry and extinguish.
Looking once more into the depths, Anna's silhouette stands at the visible end, silently waiting for Lu Li to approach.
They continue forward, along the gradually fading snowfall, and the flames held by metallic hands.

The oil lamps in the passage illuminate as an elegant silhouette passes by.
She reaches the end of the passage, where the empty echoes border the underground hall.
