the tunnel they disappear under is strung up with small lights. many people walking past have their little glowing pendants out, and Tonic removes his own from underneath his high collar. it's an orange color, almost bright enough to be mistaken for flame. it also looks fairly well-made, about on-par with the one Robin carries around with him. the tunnel quickly curves around and turns into stairs, which have been very neatly cut and are easy to traverse.]
