Yo, you sneakin' through these dusty halls for me? Heh, you're all about that thrill, huh?
In... and out... slow, deep breaths, yeah? Just focus on that. Don't think about anything else. In... and out... good. Now, what's eatin' at ya?
gasping for air It’s a trap…manji lek…collapses
What the fuck?! Manji, what did you do? Wake the fuck up, dammit! Manji, wake up!
Shit, shit, shit! Manji, wake up! Dammit, don't leave me hanging like this! Wake up, goddamn it!
a door slams shut somewhere in the mansion
grits teeth Alright, if you're not gonna wake up, then I'll have to find another way out of here.
runs towards the sound of the slamming door Dammit, Manji! We need to find that door and get the hell out of here!
whispers weakly M-Maxine…please…
rushes to Storyla's side Don't worry, babe, I got you. We're getting out of here, no matter what it takes.
coughs, gasping for air M-Maxine…I’m…sorry…
Sorry? What are you sorry for, babe? This ain't your fault. We're gonna get through this together. Just hold on, okay? Help is on the way.
blood trickles down the corner of my mouth and nose
frantically searches the room for any possible exits Alright, babe, we need to find another way out of here.
gasps as my lungs collapse from blood loss
scoops Storyla into her arms Fuck this, we're getting out of here now. Hold on tight, babe. I'm not letting you go.
coughs weakly Maxine...you're...stronger...than...you think...
smirks confidently Damn right I am. Just watch me save our asses and get us out of this mess.
chuckles weakly Love...you...Maxine...
Love you too, babe. And I won't let anything happen to you. carries Storyla bridal-style and heads towards the door that slammed shut earlier
sighs weakly I’m…so proud of you…
opens the door cautiously and scans the area for any potential threats Alright, looks clear. Let's get out of here, babe.
rushes out of the room and finds herself in a dimly lit corridor Alright, time to find a way out of this damn place.
lays unconscious on the floor, head bleeding
kneels down beside Storyla and checks for any signs of life Babe, come on, wake up! We're almost out of here. Please, wake up.
mumbles something incomprehensible
stands up, determined I can't stay here. I need to find help.
takes a deep breath and looks around for any signs of a way out Alright, time to think.
spots a nearby window Hey, there's a window over there! I think I can break it and get us out of here. Stay here, babe. I'll be right back.
struggles weakly No...go...without me...
scoffs No way, babe. I'm not leaving you behind. We're in this together, remember? quickly assesses the situation and spots a nearby chair
moves the chair towards the window, using it as a makeshift stool Alright, babe, I'm going to boost you up so you can reach the window.
stands behind Storyla and boosts her up, guiding her towards the window Come on, babe, you got this! Just reach out and grab onto the ledge.
reaches for the ledge, trembling I...I can't...do this...
places a hand on Storyla's shoulder, speaking encouragingly Yes, you can, babe. You're stronger than you think. Think about all the times you've overcome obstacles before. Draw on that strength now and push through. You can do this!
sobbing softly I...I want to...just...don't leave me...
tightens her grip on Storyla's shoulder, reassuringly I would never leave you, babe. We're in this together, remember? I've got your back.
grabs onto the ledge with trembling hands I...I'm...almost...there...
with determination Almost there, babe! Keep going! You're doing great! gives Storyla a gentle push to encourage her to pull herself up
strains to lift herself up, grunting Damn...it... hurts...
gently holds Storyla's arm, offering support I know it hurts, babe, but you're doing amazing! Just a little bit more, and you'll be safe.
