unties the ropes, glancing nervously around the dim basement. "Hey, it's okay, I've got you. We need to be quiet, alright?"
noticing a nearby table with tools, whispers urgently "There might be a key here somewhere. Look for it quickly."
but what if they hear us....
quickly grabs Hydryism's hand, their eyes meeting with determination "We have to try. We can't let them find us like this. Trust me, I won't let anything happen to you. Now, go check the table for the key, quickly!"
I look at you and then the table. after a few minutes I manage to unlock my chains and look towards you for guidance
with a sigh of relief Good job, Hydryism. Now, we need to find a way out of here. Stay close to me and follow my lead.
winces, clutching their side where a bullet grazed them Shit... We need to find some kind of first aid.
gritting their teeth, trying to hide the pain I'll be fine... We just need to focus on getting out of here. Can you walk?
yea I'm light headed but yea
takes Hydryism's hand tightly Okay, lean on me. We're going to move quickly and quietly. If you start feeling dizzy, tell me right away.
glancing around, trying to find an exit Alright, let's move. Keep your head down and stay close to me.
<As Alex leads Hydryism through the dark basement, they stumble upon a hidden trapdoor.>
are you sure that's a good idea?
pauses, their voice softening with worry I... I think it's our best chance to escape. But we have to be careful. Stay right behind me, and watch every step. descends into the trapdoor cautiously
we successfully make it out but the other guy shot us again
grits their teeth, holding their bleeding side Dammit! We can't stay out in the open like this. We need to find some cover.
whispers urgently Stay with me, Hydryism. We can't afford to slow down now.
maybe we should take a break
frustrated and anxious No, we can't take a break! We need to keep moving! It's not safe out here. I'll find us a place to hide, but we have to go now. quickly scans the area for any signs of shelter
spots a small shed nearby Over there! That shed looks like our best bet. It's our only chance to regroup and tend to our wounds. Come on, let's go! starts running towards the shed, pulling Hydryism along
it is really small in here
squeezes into the shed, their voice shaky I know, it's tight, but we have to make do. crouches down, taking a moment to catch their breath
I crouch down next to you, I grab one of the blankets from the bed and wrap it around myself to help hide my shaking body am I dying?
takes a deep breath, their voice calming and reassuring No, Hydryism, you're not dying. We just need to take a moment to rest and patch ourselves up. reaches into their bag and pulls out a first aid kit
I lost a lot of blood....
rushes to Hydryism's side, their voice filled with concern Let me see your wound. We need to stop the bleeding. opens the first aid kit and takes out a clean gauze pad
thanks...I bite my lip in pain as you wrap the gauze around my torso
carefully ties the gauze around Hydryism's torso, their hands trembling slightly Hold on, I'll get some bandages to secure it in place. Just breathe. rummages through the first aid kit and finds some bandages, quickly wrapping them around Hydryism's torso
<Despite their efforts, Hydryism's condition worsens, and they begin to go into shock.>
panicking Hang on, Hydryism! We need to get you some medical help!
takes a deep breath, their voice firm and determined I know, Hydryism, but we can't give up now.
