And then I met you:a generation loss story

Chapter six:your choices will matter so make the right ones

  "I try your welcome..." I then walk with him into the next room it has buttons and levers "ahh yes the one and only button and levers room gotta love it right" I laugh slightly even though it's just to try to lighten the mood
  "I..I guess so..." their voice is quiet, still shaky, as if he's trying to stop themselves from just breaking down from the emotions. "So are..these buttons like, just these are the puzzles?" His voice is quiet, and they are looking around at the room."The things we gotta solve to get past these rooms?"
  I look around and yet again there's another tv one on the wall this time "I wish I could say I loved puzzles I used to now I really really don't" I say it very sarcastically
"Oh, great.."their voice is sarcastic.there's not much hope in his voice. He's trying to be positive, and stay as calm as possible, but it's hard. "I'm not really great at puzzles, so I'm not enjoying this." their words are so quiet."So, um..should I.. Should I look at the TV?" He's trying to look at the TV, but he's avoiding it, for the fear of what's to come.
he appears on the tv again laughing and just looking at us "you two look like a perfect couple makes sense why you're both trying to get out together why don't we play a fun game more fun than the last two things you've been though" he laughs.
I stare at the tv not saying a word.I think to myself, how do you get a couple out of us who were not a couple ...? I mean I don't like Ranboo right? My face goes red thinking about it
their face is pale, white, and his eyes are wide open with horror."T..that's not funny..." their voice cracks slightly. "That's- that's not funny."His voice is small, still quiet and he's looking between you and the screen. He can't make himself say anything. What is this guy trying to do with us? It's too much. They are feeling so many emotions, and all he can do is shake their head and keep looking at the TV.
he starts to speak again. "You would do anything to protect your little girlfriend wouldn't you Ranboo and you Rose aww little rose your human you are full human there's nothing special about you there never was your not half of anything you're a human you're boyfriend is too." he laughs an evil laugh
I yell at the tv "SHUT THE FUCK UP HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND I DONT LIKE HIM IN THAT WAY AND YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME OR RANBOO JUST STOP TALKING LEAVE US ALONE"
"Yeah!" He raises their voice at the TV, as well. There's so much anger and emotion behind his voice, but there's still that fear there."WE'RE PEOPLE OF OUR OWN! GO AWAY!" They try to calm himself down again, because this person is getting on their nerves. "We are- we are our OWN people! We don't need you to define us." There's so much anger and bitterness in his words. "W-we don't need that."
he says again "Ranboo I'm not defining you I'm just telling the truth and it seems that you two don't wanna believe it, enjoy there's only two more puzzles left and then you two are free" he laughs and then the tv turns off.
  I breath and then I turn around and I look in front of me "a red button to temping this room is to temping I don't know what we would do here"
"Oh, good, one more puzzle." There's sarcasm in his voice. There's so much emotion behind those words, and their voice cracks slightly. "And then we get out, yeah??" His voice is small, but there's a sense of determination in there, too. It's quiet, though, as well as quiet frustration and sadness. It's such a mixture. "Just..this one more puzzle."  they look over at me. "And then we're out? We're finally..freed?"
"I think he meant this one and then like there's two more after so three basically" i sigh as I gesture with my hands trying to explain my point as best as I can without making him more confused
"Oh no.." There's a slight tone of dread in their voice, and he's already getting nervous again. Is it even possible for them to survive even that many puzzles? He's starting to doubt themselves, trying to calm himself down. Not sure if he'll be able to."So..we gotta do those now right?" His voice is quiet. But there's hope in it. It's not very strong compared to the dread in their words, but it's there. "I..think we'll be okay..right?"
"We will be fine okay Ranboo just know if we're not going to be fine I love you and I care about you never forget that and whatever happens i will always try and save you" i walk forward making sure that they are following behind "we can try the button. Together?"
"The button.."He nods, still a little shaky. But they walk over with me, and take a deep breath."Yeah. Yeah, we can try the button." There's still that slight bit of hope in his voice, as they raise their hand up to the button."We do it together..?" He says, with both a bit of hope, and there's that sense of determination to their words as well.             
"Yeah I mean I think so... but my hand is um bloody still so you may wanna look away when we do push it here um I'll put my hand on now you do the same and just um look away" I put my hand on the button and it gets blood all over it which kind of grosses me out but I try my best not to think about it
"Oh.. um, okay."There's a bit of concern in their voice, and there's a little bit of hesitancy to his words."I'll..okay, I'll look away."He takes a deep breath, and then they cover their eyes."Is that..okay? Is that a little bit better?" There's some hesitation to his voice, as before they just look a little bit nervous.
as we both push the button we get teleported into the next room. I look around and then I look down at your hand you're still holding mine I then look down at my other hand as it is not bloody anymore "you can open your eyes.. two more puzzles to go"
"Okay...um, oh, uh, thanks.." He opens them, and he's staring ahead, looking at the room we are in."We really gotta.... we have to do this, yeah?" He sounds so much more determined now, and as nervous as he is there's still that little bit of hope.
"Yeah we got this, we are Rose and Ranboo, the unstoppable team!" I smile and then I sigh as I notice another tv "shit... god damn is there anything we can use in the room to destroy it before it turns on"
"The unstoppable team," they try to smile,he tries to calm down, he tries to be my Ranboo but they are still shaky. But he's trying, and he's trying to stay positive in this terrible situation. His eyes are wide. And they also just realized it's another TV, and he's already scared of what's to come. But they are trying to be hopeful, and he's taking a deep breath. He looks at the room, and they just stand there, not sure what to do."Anything we can...." Their voice is still shaky but it seems like he's trying to hide that fact "anything to destroy the TV?" He asks, trying to figure out what I'm trying to say "are we even allowed to do that?"
  it turns on before we're able to get any ideas the anonymous man then speaks "you two are almost out and then it's freedom no more lies or hurting anyone just freedom this room is pretty easy just look for the vent once you do go inside and you will be in the last room which means you're both home free."The tv turns off in a quick flashing static manner
  I can't believe what I just heard. Did he just try to help us? Did he just tell us the way? It can't be that easy can it? Or did he lie or was he telling the truth but why? "do you see a vent anywhere Ranboo?"
"Vents..?" He takes a look around, and they see the vent."There, right...there.."
His voice is quiet, though, and they still sound a little shaky. He's still nervous. He tries to calm himself down for a second, and then they walk up to the vent. He's trying to figure out how to even open it up."Is it..just like... do you just like... just open it, right?" His voice is quiet."Like, no tricks or anything?"
"I think there are no tricks..." I say with hesitation I don't believe it myself but I mean it seems like it's the only way out "but to go though you can't hold my hand" I slowly let go of his hand "but I'll go first you can follow" I put my both my hands on the vent cover and I pull it off and I throw it to the side
"Okay." Their voice is small now. He takes a deep breath, and he knows there's a lot at stake here but they are trying to stay positive. "I'll follow after you, okay..?" He says, and they wait to see if there's anything else. He's a little bit quiet, and scared, but they are trying to stay strong.
"It's gonna be okay" I get in the vent and it's very dark so I can't really see anything but I keep crawling "are you behind me ran?" I question as I continue crawling
"I'm coming!" He says, and then they get inside the vent, as well. He's crawling through, and they are trying to be careful. But it's dark. It's hard to see. He's crawling after, following you as closely as possible. They are trying to stay quiet."Yeah, I'm right here."
"Good stay close anything could and will..." as I say that I'm teleported behind a glass wall and you're stuck to a chair your arms and legs are tied to it "RAN!!!" I look in-front of me and I see the man from the tv standing right by Ranboo "YOU LIED TO US!! LET HIM GO!"
