"What if we ignore the lake and leave this area?" Someone asked. "The palace is enormous, and we don't really need to stay near this lake. We could totally leave this place, wait until we are very far, and only then start going around again."
He wasn't wrong. After the experts entered the palace, they soon noticed how the palace extended thousands of kilometers around. However, someone else immediately refuted that idea. "Not gonna work. I wasn't even supposed to be here. I can see a few groups that moved in the opposite direction from me and my companions back at the entrance. And yet, we met again in this place, even though we should have gone separate ways."
He wasn't the only one who noticed this phenomenon, that's why he didn't bother hiding this fact. He was correct. Even though various other groups went in different directions, little by little, they began to converge at this lake, which seemed unlikely due to the direction each one took at the start.
