A cold, delicate hand grabs yours and pulls. It pulls, and it pulls... there's a sense of urgency in this icy grasp, as well as a trace of reluctance. Abruptly the hand let's go, right as your vision fades to black, and for a brief moment, only a brief moment, your senses disappear. There's only the eerie sensation of weightlessness before your feet are settled back on solid ground again.

[Can kind of gently pet Naoto now.]

[Still wants to murder Zwei though.]

[ no you should pet me instead '^' ]

I could get rid of her for you. I could go and do it and then we wouldn't have— to worry—

[Petting.]

I want to kill her.

[ I like petting. Saddest petting. ]

... Can you? Your hands aren't...

[ t..rails off... ]

They'll function.

[She hurt you.]

[ she hurt YOU. Sounding kind of half-detached, god bless liquid stepford when you need to murder someone ]

... If we can get all the way to where she is... last time she— on her own, she wasn't much of a threat, so if we're careful about her controlling-people ability... she can't use her hands down there...

...Do you want to do this?

She hurt you. I want her to die.

...I feel the same.

[Getting up.]

[ attaching to... his elbow since holding hands seems a little ill-advised now ]

There's probably... other things that need doing, but Zwei... would get in the way of those, so...

[ starts heading out of the ballroom trauma center GOOD RIDDANCE ]

[Letting Naoto lead but tense tense and quiet and watching Naoto.]

Nurse Echo just watches. Sorry for helping, geez.

As you proceed out of the room and back into the entry, you hear laughter, but it echos from elsewhere—nowhere in particular.

[ leading Sion back down past the old trauma center— he knows the way, assuming nothing's caved in, he's been here before. He's moving very deliberately and carefully— it's weird trying to walk around with an eye missing. ... Of course, some of being slow and deliberate could have to do with blood loss, but that's nbd, right. ]

[Supporting Naoto and helping guide him.]

[ going ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE TRAPDOOR and holding up his marble to illuminate it— take it away, narration text ]

With light you can see the sharp blades set in place to act as ladder steps. There is soft whispering coming down from below. And though you can't make the water out specifically, it's there, and it's dark.

[ glancing at Sion ]

Can you climb a ladder? ... Or I could go down first and catch you...

I can climb. Can you?

I can climb. ... I'll go down first.

...I will, I'll help guide you.

[ ... puffs up a bit ]

If you go first, I can't catch you if you slip.

I'll make sure not to slip so you won't have to worry.

[ ... your stupid face. deflates... ]

You'd better. Be really really careful, you can use the handles of the knives to climb down instead of the blades. If you slip and hurt yourself I'll be mad.

I'll be careful.

[And he is, very careful.]

[ waiting until Sion is safely down at the bottom and then carefully following! ]
