It shouldn’t all just be connected like this, [Liem agrees. He wonders if even the Church knows how far these tunnels go — if they’ve mapped out the entire complex, or if it stretches down and down, all the way to the Below.]
I’d think the Church would want to wall this part off — unless there’s a reason to keep a creature-filled labyrinth stretching beneath Heliopolis. It’s clearly not uninhabited.
[Case in point; the swarms that had tried to lunch on them earlier in the maze, when they’d discovered those blankets of mushrooms. It seems like the entire basement is unsafe to wander, and that makes Liem rather wonder what the point of it even is.
And these roots are getting thicker, too. He’s still able to squeak through and duck underneath, but quarters are getting increasingly close. If things keep on this way, they’re going to need to start cutting their way through just to make forward progress.]
