We regain Stella. | And begin a steep descent. | The three of us take turns, moving only if nobody is in a line below us, lest we
set some boulder tumbling down on them. |
| Bill goes through a particularly steep spot. |
Our trail below is still far away. |
|
| | Frank reaches the easier part, and cleans gravel out of his gloves. |
And Stella is not far behind. |
But the Abyss has stared too deeply into her. |
