Gibbon had to choose again—right or left. The tunnel split, and just like his choice between doors, he tried to determine which was darker, which was quieter. They seemed to be about the same, and so he chose to go to his right.
Aaron and Christian both knew that Gibbon had taken off down the tunnel because they were able to see it through Cadence’s IAC.

She lives in Oklahoma—Norman, I think.

Though there were lots of people walking around above him during the day, hardly anyone ever came down here, and at night, he was free to go out, do his bidding, and then come back here to be alone, taking solace in the blackness that echoed how he felt inside—dark, empty, and all alone.The outside world was frighteni
