Underpass (before battle)

We entered the charred mansion, and Sinclair led us to the basement.

When he opened the door…

A long underpass leading to an unknown destination was revealed to us.

<To think there'd be a tunnel down here…>

So… if my guess is right, then this passage should lead to the branch facility.

Why're you keeping this shifty shaft in your basement?

It wasn't here before.

What? Then how'd you know we oughta go to the basement?

It's like how magnetic fields draw a compass needle northward… I was brought here by intuition.

……

…Isn't that what it is?

You're bringing us along to use as sensors for the Boughs.

Sinclair quietly looked at Faust.

Instead of answering him, she strode past him and stood before the door.

Judging from the material, this tunnel seems to have been made relatively recently.

It was likely dug by N Corp's expeditionary forces when they had occupied the town.

It won't be a short trip. Given that this passage was excavated for their use, we will assuredly run into foes on the way.

…We should move once we are ready.

<……>

Don't give me that look, Dante.

…I am simply not in the position to comment on it.
