With each step, the weight of uncertainty bore down on us, filling the silence with unspoken fears.

Sophia's voice broke through the quiet, her words tinged with apprehension. "Do you think we're heading in the right direction?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

I glanced at her, her face illuminated by the dim glow of the torch. "I'm not sure," I replied honestly. "But we have to keep moving forward. There's no turning back now."
