The quaking of the confinement kept intensifying every single second, and everyone within it began to panic.
"What's going on?"
Rowan opened his eyes and took in the chaotic scene unfolding before him, wondering what the cause might be.
To his right, Riela had already opened her eyes and was gazing at Rowan with evident worry.
"I've never seen anything like this before…"
To his left, Eliman spoke up, his voice heavy with both concern and confusion.
"This is odd," Rowan replied.
The other captives engaged in the same anxious conversation. In this chaotic moment, none of them paid heed to the no speaking policy and began to exchange their troubled thoughts among themselves. Their collective discussions quickly produced a clamor which, merging with the quaking sounds, rendered the place even more chaotic.
Some of the captives were utterly scarred shitless about their safety.
Some of them even emerged from their swimming pools in sheer fright.
