Chapter 103: A Ghost from the Past

Tavian, who had been silent since they left the labyrinth, finally spoke. "The labyrinth brought our fears to life," he said, his voice steady despite the tremor in his legs. "But it also showed us our strengths. We must remember what we've learned here—about ourselves and each other."

As they exchanged glances, a sense of unity washed over them—a bond forged through shared struggles and triumphs. The labyrinth had pushed them to their limits, but it had also shown them that they were more than their fears, more than their regrets. They were a resilient force, a beacon of hope against the puppeteers' tyranny.

As the chamber's torches cast their warm glow, the resistance members took a moment to breathe, to center themselves. The enigma's message lingered, an enigmatic riddle they were determined to decipher. And as they prepared to face Xavier's past and the challenges that lay ahead, a newfound sense of purpose burned within them.
