Just sharing these pages, but first
do you care about me writing blogs? sometimes I feel they could take too long to make, and I get lazy... but if you enjoy them I can try to be more constant! I enjoy writing about this stuff, anyway.
I like how angry Arma can get sometimes, hehe... still,
all that happened to reach this point in the "present" of the story, isn't shown, so they probably been wandering the facility looking for something important until this point, following Arma who claimed to "know" the place, or at least been there and knew what they were looking for.
Titch is now going to check the machine! which is why he was there in the first place, I mean, beside the light coming from his device.
Also, they didn't found much resistance in the place, just a few remaining shadows... but the shadowy army is probably spreading and exploring the Void... or maybe they just got lucky.
anyway, real reason is that the shadows aren't really important for the story, the real objective of these two episodes is to tell Arma's past and present Susu, and in the process resolve the shadows thing origin.
I don't think it's such a big issue, I think most people while reading still think the shadows are present, somewhere, I mean some were seen in that place... but the bunker laboratory is like a relic, a frozen thing.
Something that's kinda important here, is that Arma hasn't told much to Titch and The Ancient, most of the time he's been memories as they were walking around.
he probably mentioned bits of places and things he knew.
