☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Realizing that there was no point in closing the chest again, leaving everything as it was, and forgetting about it forever – since she probably wouldn't be able to restore the straw and return the pit to its original state, not to mention that the scoundrel might have rigged it with ten different types of alarms, Ayano sighs and, using a rope, selects everything from the chest except for the "phantom red bump" card – or whatever it was written on; it was difficult to make out with that font and in the darkness of the pit. Her first thought was to take it too – just for the collection, but it was very easy to dismiss that idea.
After completing all the actions, she locks the chest with a new combination and tries to climb out of the pit and get to the villa as quickly and discreetly as possible – avoiding any human or non-human figures within a kilometer.
