After the Storm

TAG: KAROLINA, MOLLY, MORPHEUS, TRINITY

That was a close escape! Neo had succeeded in momentarily stopping the Agents, soldiers and policemen from closing in on them, and Karolina, Molly, Morpheus, Trinity and himself had walked through the exit door, which Neo then firmly shut down. They were safe. When Agents would re-open the door, they would only see the rusty staircase of a New York office building.

But for Neo and the rest of the group, the door had led them into what seemed to be an infinite hallway of identical doors. A few metres down the left of where they had come in, a man was keeping another door open and leading the group through it.

Seraph!

As Neo recognised the guardian of the Oracle, he ran towards him as the rest of the group walked through the door Seraph was still holding open for them.

"Seraph," Neo started.

"Neo," Seraph replied, "why are you here with them?"

"Trinity is alive: I needed to see her."

"Things have changed," Seraph answered while looking over his shoulder, as if worried someone would come out of one of the doors. "The Matrix needs you. But the attention you draw from anomalies like Smith might endanger the ones around you. The times of difficult choices are not over."

"But Seraph, I...," Neo started.

"There's no time, you need to step through this door. But remember: your gift is a double-edged sword, both a blessing and a curse. Be careful."

As Seraph briefly rested his hand on Neo's shoulder in a gesture of encouragement and faith, Neo walked through the door to join the rest of the group in the dark and run-down corridor of an apartment building. He had been there before: it was Morpheus' place! The rest of the group, led by Trinity, was already heading towards one of the doors -- Morpheus' apartment door. Hastily, they all got in.
