The flickering, sickly light of the escape room washed over Wato's impassive features as his green tail lashed in a slow, irritated arc. He moved forward, a silent guide through the claustrophobic passages, the atmosphere choked with unspoken tension. Wemmbu followed, stripped of his familiar comforts, his frustration a palpable heat at Wato's back. The corridor terminated in a solid, featureless wall—a puzzle Wato had intentionally placed. Wemmbu's restraint shattered. He swung, his fist connecting with a solid *clang* against the netherite armor plating Wato's chest. The sound echoed, meaningless. Wato didn't so much as blink, his brown eyes holding a flat, weary emptiness.
