Recommended song for this scene:
'I Lost a Friend' by FINNEAS

"You can't get me out of here."

Among the piles of fresh ash, a broken visage stood before me; My sweat boiled and my stomach twisted and turned the longer I remained within the depths of this burning building. I'm clearly running out of sanity. Craning my neck upwards, I turn to face the noise.

My heart skipped a few beats, looking at Sapnap standing in front of me.

"You aren't real. M-My mind's playing tricks on me again, y-you aren't fucking real.."

I look back down at Sapnap's body in my arms, in the same state he had been while I had gone as far as I've gotten to any exit I could possibly find. My gaze averts back to the front but within the blink of an eye he was no longer standing there; he was gone.

"Leave me here"

An abnormal touch to my shoulders send a couple shivers down my spine; I know that it's all an illusion, I know that it's my body acting out; The visions of him are fuzzy and blurry, it's like every second he glitches into view and disappears before I even try to focus.

Every inhale and exhale still didn't feel like I was breathing at all. To be honest, it just felt like I was suffocating for the whole time. I just wanted to get out more than anything, see George again; I just want to see him again even if its for a few seconds.

"Leave me here..."

God knows how many times his voice tormented me. It was him, but it wasn't at the same time. Hot tears streamed down my face, knowing that I probably couldn't save his corpse out of this hell. I lost my best friend. I lost a brother; and leaving him here to rot in the pits of flame?

"Please Clay, it's for the best.."

It all echoed in my mind. No, I've lost my mind.

I hugged his deceased body for the last time.

"I-I'm so s-sorry."

And there he was, resting in a deathbed of ashes, eventually getting engulfed by the walls caving in. I didn't even know what happened to him anymore; I couldn't bring myself to look back. The ceilings came crumbling down; I was holding on by a single fraying thread of hope, but what good was that bullshit when the burdens that I carried was even stronger?

"Wake up, please..."

What was it with these voices flooding my mind? First it was Sapnap and now George?

The air thickened; I was even more confused in the hazy blanket of smoke, heavyset among my surroundings. I was definitely far, far away from Sapnap, wherever I left him. I couldn't get the sole image out of my head, yet alone even get a mere few metres away from where the nearest exits were. The exit lights were busted as far as I know. There was no glowing signs for as long as my eyesight could reach;

"Clay."

One of the support barriers collapsed onto my leg. Luckily it wasn't a fracture, but it was dangerously close to being one. Limping from corridor to corridor, hoping and begging for safety.

"Clay, wake up... please wake up.."

George was crying, choked up in his own tears.

He was calling out to me but I couldn't see even a glimpse of him; What horrified me most was that I could feel him there, but he wasn't. I hated the way my head was messing around with me. I hated myself. I just wanted everything to go away.

"I-I love you, please.. w-wake up"

My eyes widened in shock.

The ceilings above me were starting to fall; I ran and ran as far as my othet leg could get me. It wasn't even a sprint. I had to limp until I couldn't walk anymore. I couldn't breathe properly. Everything was falling threateningly close to where I was barely standing, almost taking direct hits from any of the chunks dropping from above. I had a premonition of getting hit. I could already imagine everything all going downhill.

My health was declining. My vision was blurring, all I could hear was the voices in my head, I was deemed senseless at this point.

"If I don't make it out of here..." I whispered to myself, tearing up.

"G-George.."

I sniffed between words, hot steamy tears rolling down my cheeks; stained in the dark shades of ash.

"I love you too."

"W-Wake up.."

But before I could move,

I got hit.

I was trapped, in a void of pitch black.
