Yintsumantsumane emnyama, engaqhelekanga kwaphela kwaye iyabhida. UZoe uzifumanisa kwifoto encinci kwiphephandaba elicwangcisiweyo ngelixa wayehamba kwindlela engaphantsi.
Ukuphola ekwabelwana ngako phakathi kukaZoe kunye nomfundi kuqala ukusasazeka kukungonwabi kweempawu ezimbi. Kweli hlabathi apho sichanabeke kuthungelwano, sibhaptizwe kwi-Intanethi ebonakala ngathi iyadibana nenyani esisijikelezileyo, kwisitayile seMatrix, amathandabuzo aliwaka aqala ukubonakala kwingcinga yakho.
