stuttering S-shit, it's a fucking monster! We gotta get out of here, now! pulls Stranger's hand, leading them towards the exit

keeps shaking

Stranger
stares straight ahead into the darkness
wraps an arm around Stranger's shoulders Look, I know it's scary as fuck, but we've survived worse, remember? We got each other's backs, right?
Stranger
