A dead end, old magic, and the sense that something needed them. ] You were there when they got, uh... Two's fragment, right? Do you think it could've been another one? Or maybe one of his other friends?
I was there! Really got knocked around during that one. Not the most fun I've had ever had.
[But she thinks about it briefly. Considering how the fragment felt. How the messages from other people who went underground in the messages on the murmur felt.]
...It was different.
I don't know how to really describe it other than that.
I originally went down there looking for clues from those messages that came through the murmur.
Maybe you need to enter from a different tunnel, might be able to get around the blockage—not that much can be done until the next Blood Moon. But if there are other survivors... [ This could be big! ]
Different tunnel could be the option. I kind of feel like if there was a clear way through the Hosts might have gotten to whatever's down there already.
But it's definitely something to try next time. I think we may have lucked out with the hosts not being... super aggressive this time. You know?
Yeah, I know. I think all our luck is because of One's sacrifice, and if that's the case, I can't see it remaining by the next Blood Moon. Might need more people next time around.
[ Truthfully, Sharon doesn't see One's sacrifice as a net positive. Even if the Hosts weren't as hostile, it somehow influenced so many Vessels to sacrifice a part of themselves, too. ] ...stranger things have happened.

Sacrifices rarely led to good things from Ash's experience.]
We had a good number of us for this, and everything working in our favor.
I think unless the stars somehow align, we're getting another shot at it.
