It's not a long walk from there, luckily, and the path remains spacious even as the acid smell remains fresh and strong, though strangely not as overpowering as one might expect; maybe it's a bug thing, maybe it's an Enclosure safety feature, but the worst is just that it's stinky.

But Ghost leads the way, still, until they get to a pier next to a crack-covered shell of a building; but the entire area is huge. It's clearly still underground but the ceiling is far away; dragonfly-like bugs with four wings coast placidly in the distance, riding the lukewarm fumes, and the silence echoes, apart from the persistent hiss of the acid bubbling beneath the pier.

It's very green, almost glowing from beneath, and there's streaks of light breaking through the ceiling from somewhere higher up - but overall, it's wonderfully peaceful.

And Ghost sits at the end of the pier, folding its legs just to watch the aluba drifting overhead.
