Into A Not-So-Dangerous Chasm

Sharina instantly regretted tagging along with Nike.

They spent three hours walking up a small pathway carved into the side of the mountain. By the time they got to the point Nike felt her sister's presence was, she was covered in sweat. It didn't help that they didn't get a break. She was completely wiped after their close escape from the hospital, and Jack wasn't fully healed as well. Nike had offered them ambrosia and a little nectar to help them recuperate faster, but Sharina still felt exhausted.

Luckily, they hadn't run into a single titan. Newt, who she thought would've been keeping an eye out for any approaching enemy, seemed locked up in his own little head. From his expression, the sad eyes, wistful stare, pursed lips, and zero concentration, she concluded he was thinking if leaving Echo behind was the right thing to do or not.
