After considering Alex's story and assessing the situation, you decide to accept their offer and follow them to the secret tunnel. It seems like a safer option to have someone who knows the way and has experience navigating the city. Together, you and Alex make your way to the loose floorboard at the back of the bookstore. Alex lifts it, revealing a hidden entrance to a dark tunnel. The faint sound of water echoes from within. What do you do next?
1. Enter the secret tunnel with Alex and proceed towards the harbor.
2. Express your gratitude to Alex but decide to continue towards the harbor alone.
3. Take a moment to gather your thoughts and consider the risks before making a decision.
Choose your next action wisely.
