The quiet sound of relaxed footsteps filled the air as Elio slowly strode toward a hidden passage within his mansion while Andrew followed him from behind, quietly following his lead.
It was almost early afternoon. The time they planned to begin the plan they had made yesterday.
The sunlight seeped through the trees and mountains into the mansion, falling onto Andrew and Elio as Andrew looked around the unfamiliar part of the mansion he hadn't known about, his eyes filled with amazement. In a few minutes, Elio led them to a dark hallway with no door or window veiled in permanent shadow, known only to Elio.
The moment they stepped into the hallway, the dark place instantly flooded with lights with each step of Elio, brightening their path. Andrew was flabbergasted at how discreetly and perfectly Elio had built his mansion and his lab as he walked through the hall.
