A breakthrough is made, but the survivors still feel guilt, and carve another part to the eulogy, as well as making supports to keep the damaged cave stable.
One step forward and another step back, lingering regrets still in place, one of the survivors carves another message into the wall. At this point the crumbling gouges in the cave left from the explosion are starting to weaken it, and so supports must be erected to stop the walls and ceilings from collapsing in.
