"You're right...I guess I wouldn't mind a little help.." you mumble. Six smiles. "Good choice, n/n! Now you won't die!" She takes your hand, which made you blush for some reason but like why would you blush it's normal to hold hands with a friend especially if they want to direct you somewhere it's not like you've seen millions of couples doing that- "I'll hoist you up, okay?" She says, pointing to the box in front of us, leading up to the maze of boxes and cages. You nod nervously as she grabs your waist and lifts you a bit. "Ready?" "Wait, couldn't you just—" She yeets you over the box and onto a higher platform. You land hard, but you're not hurt as it's surprisingly...soft.

"You could've just done the arm thing, y'know!" you groan as she climbs up beside you. "You're gonna have to be more specific." She says, dusting off her coat. "Like where you put your arms in a sort of circle," you stand up to face her. "And like, crouch, and the other person climbs onto your arms/hands and then you hoist the-" "Ohhh, that thing." She laughs. "Right, sorry." She runs and climbs up a taller set of cages onto the next platform. For a second, you think she's abandoned you, until you see her hand reaching out for you. "C'mon, I'll pull you up!" You grab her hand and she pulls you up and onto her.

You just look at her. Your arms were around each other and you were both just staring at each other, blushing. She smiles a bit in that cute way, like she enjoyed... You inch closer, startling her a bit, but she doesn't move. You're so close, and she's so perfect, and you just kind of want to k- Suddenly you get up off her, realizing what was happening. "Y-you know, I, um! We...should-I-I'm sorry for...falling on you haha..." you say, trying to fix the mood. "It's fine.." she says, still flustered. "Don't worry about it. At all." She pulls her hood down her face. "C'mon."

She gently takes your hand and leads you forward, till you both come to face...a piano? Hanging in front of you, supported by a chain. "I'll toss you on?" She asks. You give a thumbs up. She puts her arms around you and lifts and throws you onto the piano. She jumps on beside you with surprising agility. You look up to see a chain that seems to go up forever. Six grabs onto it. "You ok to do this but by yourself, n/n?" She asks. "Yeah, that's fine.." you say as she climbs up the chain. You carefully climb behind her, but she's out of sight by now. You keep climbing for a while until your arm is really tired and you've reached the top.

You look over to the side to see another platform, bigger this time, with Six standing on it, motioning for you to jump across. You take a breath and jump...! ...just barely missing the edge of the platform. You close your eyes, scared for your life. You feel a hand grasp yours. You look up, to see Six, who's (thankfully) saved you. But there's something...off. She hesitates for a moment, and her grip seems to loosen slightly, but whatever she was thinking, she stops and hoists you up.

You topple onto the ground, careful to not let your hurt arm hit it. "AAA, I almost diiied!" You groan, still shooken. Six sits beside you. "Close call, huh?" "Yea.." you smile and reach out to pat her shoulder. "Thanks for saving me, sixy- six." "Please no." You laugh. She pulls you off of the floor and stands up. "Ok so..."
