In the end, following Cat Don Fluffles provided ever more questions, and little in the way of answers - an unfortunate standard so far.
With a pained groan you pick yourself up from the alley's dusty floor, staring right ahead to the mysterious gash in the wall. Actually, not just a gash, but source of a breeze.
Wind, hopefully - but unlikely - of air from outside, passing through the rocky labyrinth! Could it connect to the outside? Could it? How else to explain the airflow? Surely not monsters or pocket of whatever Natalie warned you about... Surely...
Yet, once again, the Colorful Ram of a Cat abruptly, but unceremoniously returns to the alley's edge, exactly where you came from. Once there, They look back expectantly. At least it seems like so.
Anyways, you nod in faux understanding. "So you are done here, kitty? I guess, me too. But we can't leave it like this, don't we?" You say sheepishly, and point at the cave with your thumb
As expected, the Cat sits indifferently - blank, endless whites gaze down your soul.
"I love you too." You snicker sardonically, and get to work - better to hide it, otherwise it could alert the authorities. And it's not that bad in here...

"Done!" You say with a huff, and swat away the remaining dust off of your pencil skirt. "It should be enough."
Where once was a gash, now looms a poster advertising the Alp mountains 'liberated' from right behind the opposite corner. Quite pretty, but you will never return there once you're done. It holds rather well on the floral tape you scavenged quite a while ago, but alas, there was a just enough of it. The poster bulges outward a little due to the breeze from inside, but it shouldn't be an issue since the airflow is worryingly consistent, meaning it could be mistaken for a small bump. Similarly, the rubble is tossed aside evenly, looking quite inconspicuous.
"What do you think?" You puff your chest as you ask Your Cat. Somehow it haven't moved an inch since you got to work. "And in less than five minutes too." you add, and wink it's way.
Silence. Only disturbed by the light wind. One you were exposed to while you were sticking the poster. Hopefully it won't be a problem.
"Thanks." You lightly smile, but roll your eyes. Then, your expression darkens. "We've run long enough... We have to go back."
You have to go back just when the dizziness you felt before subsided, or maybe you just adjusted? Is that even a good thing? Anyways, poor timing, but it's still way better than what those poor students went though. Hopefully the remaining one fares well, and so do your friends. And Angelina, of course.
