Descending from the wall, the first to approach me was the Protagonist.
His face, painted with a kind of panic I had never seen on him before, told me all I needed to know about what he knew of the situation.
There had been instances where it appeared he knew of the external threat before anyone else over the past days since I've come here, and until now, I thought that he was just using his prior knowledge of the game, but now I realised I was wrong.
After all, if that were the case, he wouldn't be so taken by surprise at this moment.
Rather, I supposed he might have been getting that information from his #System somehow. Seeing as I should have been the only one to realise but everyone down here was running around to get things sorted, he must have told them.
"Enki! We don't have much time. If there's anything you can do, please help us."
Saying that briefly, he seemed to spot someone elsewhere and briskly departed to talk to them.
