Dantès finally meets the voice behind the wall—but trust is not easily won. The unseen prisoner reveals a tragic miscalculation: he had hoped to reach the sea but tunneled in the wrong direction. Now he threatens to retreat into silence. Dantès, desperate not to lose this human thread, pleads with his unseen neighbor for connection, for faith—and for life.
Sometimes survival isn’t about escape—it’s about not being left behind.
