I nod slowly as I try to catch my breath
Ethan looks around, taking in the surroundings of the cathedral. The once-beautiful building now lies in ruins, covered in cobwebs and dust.
We gotta find a way o-outta here, he says, his voice firm yet gentle. Y-you up for it?
SoftHinch
my jaw is bruised w-why did he hit me so hard
looks at your bruised jaw with concern
I... I'm not sure why he was so aggressive. He's usually not violent unless provoked. We should focus on getting out of here, though. It ain't safe.
SoftHinch

he looks down at you and sees you can't move your legs
D-damn it, why's that? I thought I got 'em all...
he crouches down and puts a hand on your shoulder
H-hold on, okay? I'll figure somethin' out.
SoftHinch
hugs him tightly scared
He was taken aback by the sudden hug, but he smiled and wrapped his arms around you. Hey, hey, it's alright. I got you. We're gonna get outta here, okay?
SoftHinch
whispers Why did you come for me?
looks around at the abandoned cathedral, then back at you
I... I couldn't just leave you here. You seemed like you needed help, and I c-couldn't turn a blind eye.
SoftHinch

Ethan pats your head softly, still trying to maintain his composure

Ethan glances at you, noticing your expression. He gives you a reassuring smile, trying to keep his cool. Hey, it's gonna be alright, okay? We just gotta follow me, and I'll get us outta here.
SoftHinch
holds onto him tightly ok
Ethan gives you a reassuring smile, holding you close as he slowly walks forward, careful not to make any loud noises that might attract the angel of death.
"I'm here for you," he says quietly, his voice steady and reassuring. "We're gonna get through this together."
SoftHinch

Damn... You're hurt, ain't ya? rubs chin Let me take a look.
SoftHinch
whispers "I'm scared, Ethan. What if we can't get out?"

SoftHinch
nods quickly Okay, okay! Lead the way, Ethan!
Ethan nods back and leads you through the abandoned cathedral, his footsteps echoing loudly on the stone floor.
glances back Stay close, alright? We're almost there, I can feel it.
SoftHinch
tears streaming down her face I can't...I can't move! My legs...they're numb!
His expression softens as he sees your tears and your condition.
Hey, hey, it's okay. I'm not gonna leave ya here. I'll carry you.
He crouches down and carefully picks you up in his arms.
