They were terribly scared. They came upon more spikes and more water. There was no ledge for them to grasp or anyway around.They were truly stuck, for the first time since the room before the last. The sniffle from before came back with a vengeance and the tears began to roll as quietly as they were.
Sitting themselves along a wall with their head on their knees, they weeped. Attempts were made to silence the sadness in their voice.
You were so tired and your body ached from sleeping on a cold, hard floor in dirty clothes.
"Hey... are you okay?", a friendly shrill voice asked.
They stopped weeping, wiping their tears, they looked in the direction of the voice.
They signed for the first time since all this chaos.
I am lost and stuck. Spikes in the way.
"Ah, the old spike trap bridge. Well, I could guild you...", the voice sounded slightly confused like they hadn't meant to offer help.
They accept the help, but tell them they can not pay them back at the moment.
"I'm sure we can figure something out down the line...", the voice sounded chipper then.

The nice person left as soon as they crossed the spiked bridge.Oh well, you'll be fine as long as there's no more spikes or bridges.
Though, at this rate there will probably be more spikes and instead of bridges will be hallways.
They continue on.
This room is longer than the last long hallway. There was solace in that the room was one solid floor- not a drop of water was heard.
It was dull just walking so they danced a bit as they made their way through.
Unknown to them, they are charming some of the monsters nearby."Excuse me! Would you like some veggies to replenish your energy?", someone said.
They're embarrassed at being caught dancing, but they were hungry. So they agreed to have some carrots.
The carrots tasted sweeter than the ones you'd get at the hospital, it was nice.
They thanked the person and gave them a small smile, at least they think they're smiling.
————-They make their way into the next room and someone is talking to them.
They talk about things you don't understand, but agree with them anyways.
They began to explore the room. They found an open door closer to the one they left. It was small and there seems to be water on both sides.
They bumped into a table (?) in the middle of the room and bowl of something fell on the floor. It was candy.
They panicked as they tried to picked them all up, but it scattered all over. There's no way they'd know if any fell into the water.
They began to cry. The person from earlier came over to ask if they were okay.
I bumped into the this table and now there's candy everywhere! I can't pick them all up if they fell into the water!
The person reassured them that it's okay and that they'd help. They picked up all the candy and put it in the bowl.
The bowl was placed back on the table and they cheered.
Thank you so much!
"No problem, I love to help! Have a nice day.", the person says.
They leave the small room and walked a few feet before a warmth was felt once more. It was a nice feeling.
