You jump off of the piano onto the ground. "Hey, look, a vent!" Six says, running up to a kid-sized vent. "Why is this important?" You ask, coming up beside her. "I dunno, but it goes somewhere, right?" She says, opening the vent. "Follow me, okay?" She crouches through the vent and she's gone. You take a deep breath before opening the vent and crawling in after her. You keep crawling forward for a while until the space opens up to a bigger area where you can stand up. Finally, that kinda hurt my back... Suddenly, Six crouches and wraps her arm around her stomach. "Six, are you okay?!" You say, coming up beside her, putting an arm around her. "Yea...just...so..." she flinches and digs deeper into her stomach for a second. "Hungry..." "D-don't worry, we'll find something for you soon...!" You sling one of her now weak arms around your shoulders. "Here. Like you did for me!" "Thank you..." she winces again. "I'm scared..."

The word 'scared' just triggers you more. You need to help her...somehow.. So you keep going, with her hand around your shoulder, giving her as much support as she needed. "It's gonna be okay...Don't worry..." you mumble. You keep going and going, 'till at some point you think you can hear...singing. But you were probably just hallucinating. URGH, focus n/n! You need to help six!

You finally arrive at a big room with a bunch of...cages. Occasional rats scampering around. The usual gloomy attire. You see a gnome staring at something before scampering away. You look for yourself and see...dead rat meat. Ew! There's no way six could eat that! Or could she...? I mean, we're running out of time, so anything works, right? But, no, ew! I shouldn't tell her to eat something like that!
Right?

You think for a bit, and decide to...

-Ignore it (12-A)
-Tell Six about it (12-B)
