Zach disappeared from the Labyrinth of Jira's nineteenth floor, taking Nora's corpse with him. At first, not even he knew where he had gone. He didn't even notice it at first since the only thing in his fuzzy mind was Nora's unmoving face.
But after a while, he couldn't help but notice that he wasn't in a sandy desert anymore. He was on a dry, barren plain instead. And in the distance was a snow-covered mountain.
Zach recognized it.
It was the Labyrinth of Vidur. He looked around in confusion. It was enough to distract him from his grief temporarily.
How had he returned to the Labyrinth of Vidur? And hadn't the Labyrinth collapsed with the death of Patient Zero? It had fulfilled its purpose and had neither energy nor reason to keep itself maintained.
Zach frowned as he looked toward the sky.
