You hurry to walk beside her, and she takes your hand. "Wanna talk and walk?" You ask awkwardly. "Eh, we'll find something soon, right?" Just as she says this you both stop in your tracks. To see hanging feet above a chair. "Did he...?" You look up, but the legs just keep going. You look back at six, horrified, but she's already pushing the chair toward the door at the other side of the huge room. "Wait, why're you-" "Why-are you- just standing- there?" She calls between grunts as she pushes the chair across the floor boards. "It's a hanging man! With long legs!" You point out. "So?" she stops and sets the chair in front of the tall door. "Everyone sees stuff like this in the nowhere."
"How would you know?" You say, running up to Six as she starts climbing onto the chair. "I've- been here a while." She grunts and stands on top of the big chair, turning towards me. "Clearly you have not." She sticks her tongue out at you before jumping and grabbing the door's handle. You watch the door slowly open as Six hangs from its handle. "I'm gonna need you to help out sometime, y'know." She says, as the door fully opens. "Oh, want me to catch-" you're cut off by the sound of her landing beside you. "No." "Wasn't that jump, like, 20 feet?" you say, following Six into the next room. "I dunno, why?" You laugh a bit.
After you've been walking with Six for a while, through a bunch of empty and...interesting rooms, you get to a room that seems to be noticeably darker and bigger. "Six, what-" she puts a hand to your mouth. "Don't move." She whispers so quietly you're not sure if she'd even said it. "Why..?" your eyes adjust to the dark a bit more and you notice, in front of you...so many, black things. All—barely moving, squirming more like. Like...slugs, or leeches. But a whole lot bigger, almost your size. You tremble, thinking of what a leech your size could do to you. You reach out for six but she's already gone. And, you notice, with terror, they've started to creep towards you!
You...
