1: A dark, single-panel page. We see a cutaway view of a long, long spiral staircase cut into solid stone going deep into the earth. Lit by their wrist-strapped flashlights, we see the girls as they descend and talk, the stonework changing.
Rhoda: Why do you think they built over these?
Melissa: Is it an abandoned water well?
Rhoda: A well built into the building with a staircase?
Melissa: These stairs must be ancient… The stonework is getting bigger.

Julia: How deep are we?
Rhoda: The Canary says we’re nearing 120 meters.
Julia: The walls are just… carved right into the stone…
