Ethan again finds himself in a place he isn't familiar with. A long narrow hallway that its end could not be seen. The hall had gray walls and from the roof, light bulbs were hanging from it. Each placed at equal distances from each other, going down what seemed to an endless road. He looked behind him, trying to find another way out of this menacing location. To his luck, it was no different from before.

With no other options at his disposal, he starts pacing down the hallway.

It has been some time since he had started his track and yet, it feels like he hasn't moved in the first place. Nothing has changed and Ethan is starting to doubt himself. Suddenly as if someone was listening, the lights go out. Even though it was for a short moment, Ethan was on high alert.

The lights come back on again, now revealing a red door in the distance. It does make Ethan even more suspicious, but there wasn't any other way that might have led to the outside of this "place".

Ethan Starts walking down towards the door when he felt something was off. Was he getting bigger, or the hall was getting smaller? at the sudden realization that the walls were closing on him, Ethan starts running towards the red door. Dust was coming from under the walls as they were closing in faster and faster and faster.

Adrenaline was pumping in his veins, running as fast as he could. The walls were closing in as they were almost bumping into his shoulders.

As he took his final steps towards the red door, he pulls the handle of the door down and bursts through it. He closes the door behind him. While Ethan was trying to catch his breath, he finds himself yet again, in another hallway.

Ethan frowns at the newfound information and punches the door behind him while grinding his teeth.

After a few more breaths he noticed something else. This isn't the same hallway as the last time.

It was a lot bigger than the last one, and now there were cells on the sides. There was some distance between the cells so they weren't next to each other.

The cells all had one person in them, with bunk beds and a mirror hanging off of the walls of the cells.

In one of them, Ethan could see someone that was holding the bars with his two hands. Ethan didn't want to pass these cells, so he tried to open the door he just entered. But to who's surprise, it was locked.

"Dammit" Ethan whispered to himself. Again with no other options left, he presses on forward, hoping to find a way out of here.

He planned on staying away from the cells as much he could cause well, if they tried to be funny, snapping their necks through metal bars wouldn't be the easiest thing to do. He was going to stick to his plan until he was met with the first cell.

"What the hell?" Ethan told himself quietly.

In the first cell, he saw himself. He was sitting on the first floor of a two-floor bed, holding his head while sweat drops were dropping off of his face. He was breathing rapidly and quickly as he was shaking.

"I-I tried everything. I-I did what I was supposed to do. I killed them. Did i? Was I the killer? Was I the Victim? The Cop? The Detective? Four people. Four people was only with it took."

Ethan didn't stand there any longer as he proceeded forward. After a few steps, he saw himself again in a cell now to his right. This time, he was banging his head into a wall. He was just banging his head again and again and again. He spoke no words during that time.

Suddenly Ethan sensed two arms going around his neck, pulling him backward. His head hit the metal bars, as the headlock was getting tighter. It didn't last very long as Ethan placed his right feet on the metal bars, giving him a boost, helping him in breaking the lock.
