The Endless Loop (Little Nightmares 2, Mono x Six)

Chapter Twenty: We're Going to Be Okay

Mono was running within the signal tower, watching as Six dodged and leapt over fallen objects with ease. He tripped, and cried out.

"Wait for me-!"

His heart beating quickly in his chest, he scrambled back up to his feet and continued to run. As soon as he ran through the doorway, he looked ahead to see the platform he stood on crumbling. This was all too familiar. He quickened his pace as tears formed in his eyes, and he watched Six jump to the other side. As tears began to roll down his face, he reached the end of the falling platform. He jumped up, and grabbed onto Sixs hand before looking up at her.

"Please... Six, pull me up. Dont drop me, please... I...I'm sorry. For everything. For everything I've ever done wrong. You... you've been through so much... and it's because of me, isnt it? Please, Six... I'm sorry. Just pull me up and let's leave together." He begged. Six stared down at him, her expression emotionless and dull. Suddenly, she smiled, though the look in her eyes remained cold and unforgiving.

"...I hate you, Mono."

Mono cried out as Six began to release his hand.

"NO! PLEASE! SIX-"

Six let out a spine-chilling laugh as she let go, and Mono found himself plummeting down to the ground below. His vision was blurred with tears.

She hated him.

What did he do?

Why?

Why?

WHY?

Mono woke up with a gasp, before blinking away the tears that had formed in his eyes while he had slept. He could hardly remember anything.

What happened-? Why am I just- Wait! That's right! How long have I been asleep!? I need to go! He thought as his eyes widened. He scrambled up to his feet, before wincing and raising his leg off of the ground. It stilled ached, and hurt to move, but at least it wasnt as bad as before. He leaned down and picked up his flashlight, before stuffing it into his pocket.

I need to hurry and go back to Six!

He quickly limped over to a nearby box filled with soap, before grabbing on and beginning to drag it across the room. As soon as he pulled it all the way to the wall, he scrambled up on top of it, before jumping up to press the button on the wall that would open up the door. As soon as the door slid open, Mono turned back and limped to the other side of the room.

Here we go... He thought. He jumped up carefully, and pulled down the lever. As soon as the lights above flickered out, Mono took out his flashlight and clicked it on. As soon as he turned the light onto the door, he saw the patient who had formerly been sitting in the wheelchair in the other room standing in the doorway. He frowned, and clicked the flashlight off so the patient would come closer. He squinted in the darkness and watched as the patient stumbled towards him.

As soon as it was about halfway across the room, he turned briskly and jumped up to pull the lever again. The lights above flickered back on, and Mono stuffed his flashlight back into his pocket.

...That was the easy part. Now to do the rest. He thought with a frown. He sighed, before carefully making his way around the motionless patient, and heading into the hallway. He limped over to the empty wheelchair, and began to push it across the room. Once he finally pushed it up against the wall, he climbed up on top of it, before grabbing onto the window above and pulling himself through. As soon as he landed on the other side, he took the flashlight back out and clicked it on.
