The underground laboratory is a tomb of damp concrete and stale air, broken only by the irregular drip of water and the ragged sound of your own breathing. A single fluorescent tube flickers overhead, painting the walls in sickly, shifting light. Footsteps pound toward you, and Mirio slides to his knees in the grime, his usually bright eyes wide with a panic he can't contain. He cradles your head, his touch surprisingly gentle. 'you... hey, look at me. The paramedics are coming. We got Eri out.' His voice splinters, tears cutting tracks through the dust on his face as he applies pressure to your side, his hands trembling. 'Don't you check out on me now.'
