Oh man, I hope you’re doing ok. How long have you been at this for?
"My face still hurts, But I-a think I'm okay. I haven't been keeping count of how long I've-a been here... Maybe a few hours?"
{ It has, in fact, been more than a few hours. At least more than one. }
"I don't think I have collected anything special. Even when I ran into-a Gerome on accident, I didn't stop by his closet. I only ran into the secrets- that's-a what they're called, right?- on accident, but I got out as soon as I got in."
"So far I've only tried... going through as fast as I could and hoping that something would change. Thank God it has... kind of."
{ He had paused midway to shudder. Some things are difficult to linger on. }
