Dantès marvels at the ingenuity of his new companion, who casually unveils a handmade chisel crafted from the iron clamp of a bedframe. With it, the man has carved out a fifty-foot tunnel—alone, in secret, and with astonishing precision. But precision, he admits, is relative without tools, and a small miscalculation has left his plan for escape undone.
Still, the path wasn’t wasted—it led to Dantès. And now that they’re connected, the map might change.
