The familiar sound of clunking occurred as the lift came to a stop. BanBan immediately jumped to action, opening the metal gate and holding it open for [YN], who stepped out while giving a small appreciative nod. Toadster was soon to follow, humming quietly as the three began to walk.

Taking lead of the group, Toadster took his cross in his hand, gently squeezing it against his palm. It was at that moment that [YN] noticed the quiet clacking sound of BanBan's shoes as he walked. The noise was somewhat calming, especially mixed with Toadster and BanBan's soft humming.

Aside from the small noises, the trio walked in silence for a while. It was only when Toadster began to speak that [YN] snapped out of their dissociative trance.

"Down here is where most of the naughty ones reside. Though I don't like to use their original title for them, they're just kids after all." Toadster explained.

[YN] felt their body tense up slightly at the mention of kids. They gripped onto the straps of their backpack and let out a shaky breath.

"Kids? I didn't know that other kids were hurt here." [YN] muttered quietly.

"Well technically their human donors were adults, [REDACTED] never liked messin with the kids, which is one good thing he did I suppose. But mentally they're all in a child like state. They were meant to be the children of Bouncelia and High Priest Dadadoo." Toadster gave a small forced smile, gripping onto his cross more.

"I imagine Bouncelia is a great mother to them all." [YN] whispered.

Looking around, [YN] noticed that they were in an area that looked similar to the outside world. They were walking down a dirt pathway which had many street lights on both sides. Glancing up at one of the lights, they noticed that it was flickering heavily.

BanBan's tail began to erratically swish around. [YN] went to question if he was okay. But before they could the lights all turned off with a loud thudding noise, making them let out a startled yelp.

[YN] barely had a chance to react before BanBan scooped them up and began running. Without thinking they immediately clung onto him, gripping tightly onto the back of his shirt. Being so close to him, [YN] was able to hear the erratic pounding of his heart beating in his chest. While they knew he was alive, they had no idea he had a functioning heart.

BanBan placed [YN] down on the ground and turned to flip a switch on the wall. There were several loud clicking noises before the lights slowly began to turn back on, one at a time. [YN] watched as BanBan's eyes faded from an almost purely white colour to the golden colour they were used to.

"Are you okay?" BanBan asked, turning to face them.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Are you?" [YN] questioned, looking up at the red demon softly.

BanBan nodded and then turned to look down the small stairway he had just ran up. [YN] turned to look with him, gasping at the sight of Toadster being tackled to the ground by a strange grey and purple creature. [YN] went to intervene but Toadster's sudden loud laughter stopped them in their tracks.

Toadster sat up, taking the eyeless face of the creature in his hands and playfully shaking it. The creature let out joyful giggles before climbing onto Toadster's shoulder. The creature had no eyes or limbs but had long ears similar to Bouncelia with purple inside of them.

"Looks like someone ran away from nap time again.  Kids, am I right?" Toadster laughed as he stood up slowly, trying to keep the creature on his shoulders.

"That's what the kids look like?" [YN] asked.

Toadster nodded as he placed the creature on the ground, it giggled again before scurrying away into the darkness

"Sure is. There's a few different ear types but they all look fairly similar." Toadster explained, looking up at the door behind BanBan. "I'm guessing that thing's locked again?"

[YN] turned to look at the door. Above it were four small lights that were all turned off. They turned back to look at Toadster and nodded.

"Yeah, Syringeon likes to keep that door locked. He runs a tight ship down on level six. There's four points spread around this level that temporarily unlock the door. The best way to do it is to split up and each go to a point before going to the fourth together." Toadster suggested.

"Absolutely not, we are not splitting up, what if [YN] gets hurt?" BanBan objected.

Toadster raised an eyebrow as he crossed his arms. "I'm sure they can handle themselves."

"What if Josh finds them while they're alone? Then what?" BanBan began walking down the stairs.

"For all we know, Josh is still on the above level. I doubt he'll find his way down here before we all find the switches. It's more efficient to split up."

The two continued arguing, [YN] slowly made their way down the stairs. Looking between BanBan and Toadster, they quietly began to walk away. After a while of walking they came to the end of the street lights, yet the path still continued.

Talking out their flashlight, [YN] turned it on and began walking into the darkness. They weren't fully sure where to go but knew if they just followed the path, they'd end up somewhere. Staring down at the ground, [YN] heard the sound of distant giggles coming from the darkness.

Eventually they came across a light in the distance, they began speeding up their pace slightly. Upon reaching the light, [YN] stood in front of a large grey door with a green keypad beside it. Putting away their flashlight, they took out their green keycard and used it on the keypad. The door then slid open with loud clunking noises.

Stepping through and slowly looking around, [YN] found themselves in a light grey room with several table and chair arrangements. Each table had a button in the middle with every chair around each table being a different colour.

Looking at one of the walls they noticed a variety of coloured circles in rows with an arrow beside them. Glancing between the tables and wall, [YN] slowly began pressing buttons in an attempt to solve the puzzle.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything." The familiar voice of BitterGiggle said.

[YN] jumped slightly, turning to look over at the jester. BitterGiggle no longer was wearing his mask, it looked like the stitches that were on his face had been removed. He smiled softly, their hand gripping onto their other wrist.

"Not really, I'm just solving this puzzle." [YN] started, letting out a nervous laugh. "Or trying to anyway."

"I can help if you'd like?" BitterGiggle asked, his head tilting slightly, resulting in the sound of several bells jingling.

[YN] smiled softly and nodded, BitterGiggle excitedly ran over. Moving to one of the tables, he pressed the button on it. The small light above the button flashed green.

"You know, I wanted to thank you, you've done a lot for everyone here." BitterGiggle said softly as he walked over to the next table.

"Have I?" [YN] asked.

"Sure have. I mean you freed Bouncelia, gave me my eyes back. You've done a lot for all of us, even if you don't realise it." BitterGiggle smiled as he pressed another button.

[YN] hummed quietly, pressing another button which resulted in a small musical tune playing. A door then slid open, allowing them to go inside and press a large button on the wall. Another musical tune played as a light above the button turned on.

"There you are." A deep voice that [YN] didn't recognise said.

Turning to look at where the voice came from, [YN] found Dadadoo. He stood at 10'2", his face was covered by a purple veil with a pink gem resting at the centre of his eyeless face. He wore an outfit of black, purple and gold. Almost all of his skin was covered, with the exception of a dark grey tail at the back of his formal tunic.

He bore a soft smile, his head tilted to the side slightly. Around his neck was a large golden cross on a necklace. BitterGiggle gave a small bow before stepping to the side of the room as Dadadoo slowly moved towards [YN].

"Are you High Priest Dadadoo?" [YN] asked, looking up at him.

"That would be me, it's a pleasure to meet you at last [YN], I've heard a lot about you. May I?" Dadadoo asked, holding out his hand.

[YN] placed their much smaller hand in Dadadoo's. He gave it a soft squeeze before turning it so the back was facing up. Leaning down, with his other hand, Dadadoo lifted his veil enough to press a light kiss to [YN]'s hand.

Dadadoo then stood up straight, moving his veil back over his face. [YN] slowly pulled their hand away as they watched Dadadoo place his hands behind his back.

"The new God is waiting for you, I'm sure you'll be pleased to know your journey may be coming to an end." Dadadoo said with a soft hum following his words.

"I don't know, this place doesn't seem nearly as bad as I remember it being." [YN] smiled softly as they looked over at Bittergiggle who gave a small wave.

"It certainly improved around here when the new God rose to power." Dadadoo chuckled as he turned around, heading towards the door.

"If you don't mind me asking..." [YN] started.

Dadadoo hummed questioningly. [YN] bit their bottom lip as they slowly walked behind him, gripping tightly onto the straps of their backpack. There was a lingering question in their mind that they had been wanting the answer to for a while.

"How did the new God rise to power? I've heard rumours about this place from the outside as well as mentions of him from others here but..." [YN] stopped mid sentence.

Dadadoo turned to look at them, despite having no eyes they could see an expression of sorrow written all over his face.

"If it's too much for you to talk about I'm sure I can ask someone else." [YN] blurted, fear rising that they had overstepped.

"Not at all. Though perhaps we should sit down. The day that the old Gods fell was one full of blood and horror." Dadadoo stated, his suggestion sounded more like a command.

[YN] nodded quietly and the three sat down at one of the tables. After sitting in silence for a brief moment, Dadadoo began talking. He interlocked his fingers, placing his hands on the table and slowly fiddling with his thumbs.

Dadadoo told the tale of a day filled with blood and death. Several years prior, after years of bottled up anger, Syringeon finally snapped. When the staff tried to restrain him for a punishment, he fought back.

No one was there to see the bloodshed aside from Syringeon himself but the screams could be heard several layers up. Dadadoo recalled that dozens were killed within the span of such a small amount of time, many of them meeting their end by Syringeon's hands alone.

He recalled that once the staff stopped entering the room, Syringeon began to chase the survivors down, hunting them and finding as many as he could. None of them survived. Not a single one made it to the lift before he found them. Bones were broken, heads were crushed, there were even rumours of someone's spine being torn out.

Eventually Syringeon found the old Gods. Despite their claim of being fearless, they all cowered in a corner. In that moment, the tables had completely turned and they were praying to Syringeon. They begged for forgiveness, for their freedom.

He offered [REDACTED] an opportunity, to see what he would do. And in the face of death, [REDACTED] chose violence, attempting to stab Syringeon. This made him laugh manically before promptly snapping [REDACTED]'s neck, his body slumping to the ground.

"When it was over and only one of the old Gods remained, the new God stood. He told them he would punish them all for the atrocities they had committed. They may have died, but their lives were far from over." Dadadoo explained, one hand moving to grip onto his cross.

[YN] was silent for a moment before speaking. "What did he do with their bodies?"

"I can't describe it but.. You'll see when you get down to level six." Dadadoo stated.

[YN] nodded quietly. The three sat in silence for a while. The silence was interrupted by the sound of giggling, making them all turn to see one of the naughty ones scurrying towards them. Dadadoo suddenly stood up and excused himself before leaving the room.

Bittergiggle stood up and picked up the creature, squeezing it gently. [YN] stood and tucked in their chair, putting back on their backpack.

"Why did he leave so suddenly?" [YN] asked, not fully expecting an answer.

"Let's walk back and talk shall we?" BitterGiggle suggested.

The two then began walking. As they walked, BitterGiggle explained that while Dadadoo was created as the father of the naughty ones, he was forbidden from being involved in their upbringing. This rule was so heavily engraved in his mind that he feared punishment even years after the humans had left the facility.

[YN] hummed quietly while listening. The three eventually ended back at the main door which now had two of the four lights on. Toadster was stood beside the door, he smiled upon seeing [YN] but his smile faded upon seeing BitterGiggle, quickly running over to them.

"What are you doin down here hun? You're meant to be resting." Toadster asked, taking the naughty one from their arms.

"Don't be silly, I'm fit as a fiddle!" BitterGiggle cheerfully exclaimed.

"Where's BanBan?" [YN] asked as they looked around.

"He stormed off, said somethin about needing to protect you, I have no idea why. You're perfectly fine." Toadster explained as he sighed.

Before [YN] could say anything else, the feeling of something on their shoulder stopped them. Turning around they saw Stinger Flynn, one tentacle on their shoulder. He had a soft expression on his face.

"May I talk to you, alone?" Stinger questioned.

[YN] nodded and waved goodbye to Toadster and BitterGiggle who both waved back. The two then began walking, Stinger guiding the way. He waited a while before talking, humming quietly.

"Do you still have the folder I gave you?" Stinger asked.

[YN] nodded quietly, gripping onto the straps of their backpack again. They thought about the room they had found with pictures of them in it, shivering slightly at the memory. Stinger nodded back and let out a small hum before continuing to talk.

"How much of it have you looked at?" He questioned.

"Not much, I've been pretty preoccupied." [YN] muttered.

"When you go down to floor six, there are going to be things... People, or remnants of people, that may disturb you. I want you to be mentally prepared for it." Stinger explained.

"I think I can handle it." [YN] looked up at Stinger and smiled softly.

The two stopped walking, standing in front of a door. Stinger turned to look at [YN], placing a tentacle on their shoulder. He hummed quietly.

"Just be careful alright? While most people here are friendly enough, this place is still full of horrors that no person should ever have to bear witness." Stinger said, his tone soft and voice full of concern.

"I'll stay safe. I promise." [YN] smiled softly.

Stinger nodded again and the two parted ways, with [YN] going through the door. They slowly made their way down several hallways. Eventually a gut wrenching stench of old blood began to grow stronger. They came across splattered blood all over the walls and floor, some even on the ceiling.

[YN] sped up their walking, pinching their nose with one hand to try and get through the area as quickly as possible. They closed their eyes, walking as fast as they could. With a loud thud, they walked into BanBan, immediately stumbling backwards and almost falling over.

BanBan reached out to grab [YN], stopping them from falling. The two stabled themselves and quietly looked at each other, BanBan's eyes glistening slightly from the reflection of the above light.

"You're not falling for me already are you?" BanBan playfully joked.

[YN] let out a small snort laugh, playfully punching BanBan's arm. The two laughed for a moment, when they stopped, BanBan looked down at [YN]. He had a softness to his eyes as his smile faded slightly.

"I'm sorry for my outburst earlier." BanBan said softly.

"And I'm sorry for leaving when you were looking away." [YN] replied, giving a small smile.

"Let bygones be bygones?" BanBan suggested, smiling back.

[YN] nodded and with that the two continued walking, making light conversation. Eventually they ended in an open area with blue walls and fake grass. Spread around the room were several statues on wheels with platforms nearby.

The two began working on the puzzle together, pushing different statues onto corresponding platforms. The statues were heavy and hard for [YN] to push, yet BanBan seemed to push them with relative ease.

"Is it strange to say that you look like [REDACTED]?" BanBan asked.

[YN] tensed up slightly as they pushed their statue onto the platform, resulting in a loud click as a door beside them slowly swung open. BanBan tilted his head as they let out a nervous laugh.

Behind the door was a keycard, the two slowly walked over to the other door in the room. [YN] twisted the keycard in their hand, humming quietly while walking. Pressing the keycard to the panel on the wall, the door opened with a loud thud.

"I guess I look like him because he's my dad. Or.. was, since he's basically dead." [YN] muttered.

They looked over at the wooden door in front of them, placing their backpack down and taking out the hammer within. [YN] then began tearing down the door as they continued talking.

"He was a bad dad, absent most of the time and when he wasn't, he was punishing me. I wasn't even five when his punishments started and it only stopped because I ran away from the cult to move in with my grandpa." [YN] explained. "Pops is so much nicer than his son. He owns a bunch of restaurants, even said I could take over one when he retires if I want. The only reason I came back here was to get my sibling. Before they went missing I swore I would never step foot in this place again."

[YN] threw the scraps of wood to the side, pressing the button on the wall behind it. The light above it lit up making them hum quietly. They put the hammer in their backpack and put it back on, only then looking over at BanBan.

BanBan's eyes were wide, his mouth slightly agape. He gripped onto his cross. His eyes were rapidly fading from a light gold to a deep gold. [YN] gently placed a hand on his shoulder, his eyes finally settling on the deep gold colour.

"You're the protege of [REDACTED]? I've been talking to and guiding the spawn of our God around?" BanBan whispered, both of his hands tightly gripping onto [YN]'s shoulders.

"I.. Guess you could say that?" [YN] muttered.

"You're his flesh and blood. You're one of the only parts of him that remains alive. You're our saviour, aren't you? That's really why you're here? He sent you here to save us!" BanBan exclaimed, his grip on [YN]'s shoulders tightening.

"Wait no, I'm just here to get my sibling. What are you talking about?" [YN] tried to back away but BanBan's grip on them was too strong.

"You're here to become our true new God, our saviour, the one for us to worship. Please, I beg of you, let me worship you? Please, my God?" BanBan asked, his voice beginning to shake slightly, his fingers digging into [YN]'s shoulders.

"You're hurting me, please stop this." [YN] whispered.

"I promise I'll be your most loyal follower, I'll do anything you ask. I'll do anything you want, please? I need this. I need you." BanBan's eyes grew tearful.

"I said you're hurting me!" [YN] yelled.

[YN] placed both hands on BanBan's chest, pushing him away. They immediately stumbled backwards, falling to the ground with a loud thud, their entire body beginning to ache. BanBan went to help them but they held out a hand to stop him. Their breath was heavy, their body shaking slightly.

Staring up at BanBan, [YN] placed a hand on their shoulder. Underneath their hoodie they could feel blood trickling down their skin from how hard BanBan had gripped onto them.

"Please leave me alone, I can't talk to you right now." [YN] muttered.

"But, I need you." BanBan exclaimed, his voice shaking more.

"And I need you to leave me alone so I can process." [YN] said, their voice firm before softening up slightly. "Please."

BanBan nodded quietly and left the room. [YN] let out a shaky breath and then took off their hoodie, using the sleeves of it to wipe away the blood on their shoulders before shoving it in their backpack. Letting out a sigh, they straightened out their shirt and stood up.

[YN] made their way back down the hallways, ending up back in the dark room where they slowly walked, their legs shaking slightly from the pain of the fall. A sharp pain in their chest made them grip onto their shirt.

Without realising, [YN] ended up walking in the wrong direction. The darkness seemed to surround them, next to no light being visible. In the distance they could hear the sound of whispering mixed with laughter.

The voices slowly grew louder. [YN] began to grow slightly lightheaded. Staring into the distance, [YN] could almost make out the shape of a face. They grew closer to the face, a shiver going down their spine. The face seemed familiar, yet different.

With each step, the face seemed to get clearer, more defined. Suddenly they bumped into something, reaching out to touch it, they realised it was a metal banister. In the distance was a figure that looked like Zolphius, yet it was so incredibly different. The supposed eyes were what looked like cameras.

Behind them was the quiet sound of rustling, [YN] immediately spun around. They rummaged in their pocket, pulling out their flashlight and turning it on. Moving the flashlight around, they shone the light onto NabNab.

All five of his eyes widened, glistening in the light of the flashlight. This was the closest [YN] had gotten to NabNab. Being so close they noticed just how soft he looked, his blue body was completely covered in fur, turquoise scars scattered around. Before they could say anything NabNab scurried off into the darkness.

Shaking their head, [YN] held onto the railing, slowly following it until they reached a door in the light. Pulling out a keycard they opened the door, stepping inside. The room had a medical bed and a desk full of abandoned medical equipment, some of it stained in blood.

Looking around, [YN] saw a mural on one of the walls. It had the great Syringeon himself. The mural had blood splatters all over it. Directly opposite to the wall was a curtain covering what looked like another medical bed.

Stepping closer to the curtains, a strange aroma grew stronger. With a shaky hand, [YN] pulled the curtain back. Their eyes immediately widened and they let out an ear piercing scream. Lying on the medical bed was a mostly decayed human corpse, covered in maggots and flies. Parts of the bone were showing with some flesh still attached to them.

[YN] ran out of the room, dropping their flashlight in the process. They didn't care where they ended, they just wanted to get away from that room. [YN] bumped into something, letting out another scream in shock.

"Hey, it's okay, it's just me." BanBan said softly.

[YN] let out a shaky sigh. BanBan took their hand in his own and guided them to an area where there was light. He gently placed a hand on their shoulder, making [YN] flinch slightly.

"Are you okay?" BanBan asked.

"Yeah..." [YN] started, looking down. "Yeah, I just got startled is all."

The two stood in silence for a while. [YN] could feel their heart pounding in their chest. Their head feeling like it was spinning a mile a minute. Letting out a shaky breath, they looked up at BanBan.

"You can consider me your saviour if you want." [YN] muttered.

BanBan fell to his knees, clasping his hands together and whispering praise and prayer under his breath. None of what he was saying made any real sense, at least not to [YN] anyway.

"Hey, stand up." [YN] demanded, their voice stern.

BanBan almost immediately stood up, straightening his posture as he spoke. "Yes, of course, I'm sorry my God."

"No, we're not doing that. I might end up saving some of you but I'm not a God okay? I'm just a person. A regular Joe. I'm nothing like my father and I don't want to become like him. You can look up to me but I don't want you worshiping me, okay?" [YN] said, crossing their arms.

"Of course, I'm sure you're so much superior to him anyway." BanBan exclaimed joyfully.

"We'll have to work on that but it'll do for now I guess." [YN] sighed.

The two began walking, BanBan humming quietly as his tail swished around behind him. Eventually they made it back to the door where all four lights were now turned on above it. In front of the door were BitterGiggle and Dadadoo, mid conversation.

The conversation came to a halt when BitterGiggle saw [YN] and BanBan. They immediately turned and began waving at them both frantically. [YN] let out a small laugh, waving back while climbing up the stairs. The smile on their face faded slightly at the feeling of a sharp pain in their chest, one hand moving to grip onto their shirt.

"Are you alright there, dear?" Dadadoo asked, his face riddled with concern.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Just give me a moment." [YN] muttered.

[YN] gripped onto the rail beside the stairs with their other hand. Their back arched slightly as they leant down, taking in several deep breaths. BanBan gently placed a hand on their back, slowly guiding them to sit down.

BanBan sat beside [YN], he gently grabbed one of their hands, moving two fingers to their wrist. Dadadoo and BitterGiggle exchanged concerned looks. BanBan's eyes slowly faded to a lighter gold colour as he let out a small hum.

"Your heart rate is incredibly high, can you focus on taking some deep breaths for me?" Uthman asked, his voice smooth and softly spoken.

[YN] nodded as they took in a slow, shaky breath. The pain in their chest slowly grew smaller. Uthman placed one hand on their back, slowly rubbing circles on it in a soothing motion.

"We should all rest for a moment, it's been a long day and I think a break is warranted." Uthman suggested, to which Dadadoo hummed in agreement.

"What? No, I have to find my sibling. We can't stop moving." [YN] exclaimed.

[YN] quickly stood up, their legs immediately shaking. Uthman, BitterGiggle and Dadadoo all immediately moved to catch them before [YN] could fall over. Their vision grew blurry and their breath hitched. Dadadoo gently guided them to sit down again.

"Okay maybe we can take a small break." [YN] sighed dramatically.

The group sat for a while, Uthman helping [YN] with breathing exercises. Dadadoo hummed quietly, his voice calm and relaxing. They all eventually lost track of time, none sure quite how long they had been sitting for.

After a while there was a distant sound of thudding, making them all jump slightly. Some of the ceiling above began to crack and crumble, small chunks landing on the stairs. BanBan's eyes returned back to the deep golden colour as he turned to look at [YN].

"I think that's our sign to keep moving." BanBan whispered.

The others all nodded in agreement, slowly standing and climbing the remaining stairs. Upon reaching the top, BanBan opened the door. The group began walking, the sound of humming and bells jingling following them.

Behind the door was a large hedge maze, it seemed ridiculously tall, [YN] assumed the walls were at least fifteen feet tall. Dadadoo lead the group, one of his hands gently tracing along the wall of the maze. At no point did they get lost, it seemed like he had taken this path many times before.

"Can I ask why you're joining us, High Priest Dadadoo?" [YN] asked, their voice quiet.

"I have a question for the new God. Nothing exciting, I just figured it would be easier to join you on your venture." Dadadoo explained as they all turned a corner.

[YN] hummed quietly, looking over at BanBan who immediately looked away. They had caught him staring multiple times, especially after revealing their connections to the facility. BanBan's tail swished around behind him as he walked. He looked down at the ground, trying to act like he hadn't been caught like a child with their hand in a cookie jar.

"So, Uthman told me that you had relations to one of the old Gods?" Dadadoo asked, his second hand moving to gently hold his cross.

"He was my father. An awful one at that though." [YN] laughed nervously.

"I can imagine, with all of the horrific things he did to myself and the others here I can only imagine what he did to his own flesh and blood. I'm not surprised you ended up leaving, I hope your life has become easier since your escape." Dadadoo hummed softly, despite his deep voice there was a level of gentleness to it.

"It has yeah, before my sibling went missing I was actually..." [YN] started, a soft smile growing on their face. "Happy. I don't think I was ever happy growing up."

"Well then, I hope that happiness follows you in your future ventures." Dadadoo said as he slowly twisted his cross.

The group exited the maze, making their way down a long, grey hallway. Further down the hallway the smell of bleach and chemicals slowly grew stronger. Looking at the walls of the hallway, [YN] noticed that there were patches of paint that were ever so slightly different to the rest of the wall. Different shades of paint, as if something had been painted over to hide something.

At the end of the hallway was another lift, BanBan held the gate open as the others all climbed onto it. He then climbed onto the lift himself, pressing the button to start their trip down to level six. [YN] moved to one of the corners, taking off their backpack and sitting on the floor.

"I'm sure the new God will be very pleased to see you." Dadadoo smiled.

[YN] nodded as they took out the letter they had received, slowly unfolding it and reading it again. BanBan hummed quietly, sitting opposite to them with crossed legs.

"I'm sure we'll find your sibling soon, you'll save them just like you've saved all of us." BanBan said softly.

"I really hope so." [YN] muttered, gripping onto the letter tightly.

And with that, as the darkness slowly surrounded them all, they drew eerily closer to floor six. [YN] wasn't sure if this would be the end of their journey, but they knew they were slowly growing closer to their sibling. [YN] would get them out of the facility, even if it was the last thing they did.
