Not that Luca hadn't felt immense relief when he heard Sid for the first time since ending up in such an unfamiliar place, where everything looked disorientingly similar no matter which direction he turned.
In fact, he'd practically gone limp, nearly falling back on his ass if Xavier hadn't caught him just in time!
For a moment, he'd even thought he'd imagined Sid reaching out because of the immense stress he'd been under. After all, how was communication even possible when their small group had ended up somewhere else?
But it was real.
And unfortunately, so were the rather dreadful circumstances that Sid and D-29 had just described.
Because if there was one thing Luca hadn't expected to encounter after everything they'd already been through, it was a dungeon rift in a supposedly dungeonless society.
