As they walk, the wall ends and gives way to a metal guardrail, and the two can see that they are high above a massive, vast sphere carved out of the earth. It's large and humid here--stinky, just like Trissie promised, it smells of something old. Clouds hang near the top of the ceiling, as if this place is it's own ecosystem. Down below, there are buildings made of metal and there are many made out of rock, and there's a startling amount of trees and plants growing on the rock or on the rooftops of high rise buildings or in parks.

There are massive vents on the spherical walls and ceiling and there are even bigger holes that sometimes have lights coming from them and sometimes they do not. Some vents and holes have paths built out of rock leading to them, but many don't. As they walk, the other side of the staircase opens up and leads to a path, and down that path there are homes carved right out of the stone with grass and moss growing over them and even a tiny river.
