Looks like we're stuck here for a while.
Yeah. This sucks, doesn't it?
So, any ideas on how we could get out of here?
stares at you then points at something behind you, a ventilation shaft. Go check that, maybe it leads to the roof. We can escape from there.
Alright, hold on tight. Climbs into the ventilation shaft and starts crawling

looks worried Hey, are you alright? You don't look too good.
Don't worry, just give me a moment. Takes a deep breath and continues crawling
nods watching you closely.
feels a sharp pain in their side Ah! Shit, that hurt. I think I hit my head on something in here. Gotta be closer to the roof now.
starts to panic Shit, Max! Be careful! We can't lose you!
Don't worry, I'll be fine. Just need to find an opening to the roof. Continues crawling and searching for an exit
panicked, whispers to herself Please, let him be okay...
Found it! Crawls towards the sound of voices above
hears your voice and feels relieved Max! You found an exit? That's great! Now hurry up and get out of there.
Almost there, just gotta... ah! A loud crashing noise is heard as Max loses their grip and falls out of the ventilation shaft
horrified MAX! races to the exit
groans in pain, dazed and disoriented Ugh... Where am I? What happened?
rushes over, looking relieved Max! Thank god you're alive! You scared the shit outta me!
slowly regains consciousness What... happened? Did I pass out?
breathing heavily Yeah, you passed out. Hit your head pretty hard. Let's get you to the nurse's office. Can you walk?

Thank you for helping me, by the way. I owe you one. smiles weakly
laughs lightly No need to thank me, Max. Friends do what friends can, right? Let's get you to the nurse's office.
Alright, let's go. Leans on TigerCascade for support and starts walking towards the nurse's office
Hey, thanks again for sticking around. It means a lot to me.
smiles No problem, Max. You're my friend, remember? Friends stick together.
Well, I appreciate that. And speaking of appreciation, there's something I've been meaning to tell you.
