"...It's dark."
Bea and Bun returned underground, Via and Sui rested in the Bag, and Mina...
She sat atop my Shoulder, still debating whether or not she should learn Flash.
"...Are you hesitating?"
"...I've never used a TM before, so... ...It's still surreal, being able to actually use Moves properly..."
'...I mean, she'd have to get rid of a Move, so...'
"...Well, you can learn it whenever you want. It's not too dark."
For a long moment, there was no sight of anything...
...Until it hit us.
We crashed directly into a Wall that appeared out of nowhere.
"...Ow. ...Not gonna say that was unexpected. You alright?" I rubbed my nose.
"Yeah. Nothing too bad." Mina said, seemingly rubbing her own.
"How are you guys holding up?"
Looking at my bag, I couldn't see them, but I could hear their soft breathing.
"...I guess they're asleep."
"Ha, and here we are, looking for the Exit. ...Or anything, really."
"It really is dark in here... How do people navigate through here-"

"...Not with this, that's for sure."
In the same instant, the once Pitch Black Cave became ever so slightly... brighter? Lighter? ...It's extremely Dim, to the point that I can only somewhat make out the walls and ceiling.
"What? What happened?" Mina asked.
"Well... I got a new Skill. ...I can kind of see in the Dark now, so maybe we can get through this Cave without too much trouble."
"Night Vision!? What's next, Flight!?"
"Don't Jinx it. ...Anyways, we should start going. I can still barely see, but I think we go left."
Complying with my decision, we began to move further in.
And as it got darker...

Like before, the Darkness grew a little brighter.
'...This place looks familiar. I believe that, in the Game, there was an Item around here.'
Turning left, I find another Wall.
Walking along the wall, I found the spot that looked like what it did in the Game...
...And found nothing.
'...That's a shame.' I sighed.
"Something wrong?" Mina asked.
"...No. Just disappointed. ...Don't worry about it."
"...If you say so."
We wandered around the cave for a long, long while.
And at some point...
