When the three of them went there, they found an opening in the corner of the hall that was barely wide enough for one person to pass through, and a stairway to the basement peeked out from behind it.
There, too, a dim magic lamp was lit.

Ray, Makina III, and Chell descend the dimly-lit staircase in that order, and find a door.
The door was unlocked, so Ray opened it and found a small room with iron bars at the back.

Here, too, there was only one dimly lit magic lamp, but it was bright enough for Makina III and Ray's eyes.
They could see two figures, a man and a woman, lying behind the bars.

After making Arianne's parents stand back, Ray cleaves the sword twice to the side.
With that, five bars, each about three centimeters in diameter, were cut off and scattered on the floor with a loud clatter.
