The Chute’s Betrayal: A Flood of Fear and Instinct

The larger tunnel serves as both a battleground and a fleeting refuge. Initially, it offers the trio a moment of respite as the roar of the first tidal wave fades, but this illusion is shattered when the second wave appears. The tunnel’s length becomes a racecourse, its walls echoing the thunderous approach of the water. The light at its end symbolizes hope, but the tunnel itself is a gauntlet, forcing the trio to confront their mortality and the limits of their control.

Before: A seemingly safe passage with a distant light at its end, offering a brief reprieve from the chaos.

After: A deadly conduit for the tidal wave, its walls shaking with the force of the water as the trio sprints toward the light.
