You can hear his heavy breathing as he advances toward you both, through the maze of bookshelves. You look to Six for help, but she's just motioning for you to jump down. "I-I can't just-!" You say, uncomfortably contemplating the 20 foot drop. "I'll catch you!" She calls out. Not wanting to get killed, you take a breath before jumping down, trying to shield yourself from the inevitable impact of the fall that you were, well, experiencing. You feel rubbery thin arms wrap around you. You open your eyes to see Six holding you, who's surprisingly unscathed. "C'mon!" She drops you and grabs your hand. You look behind you to see the long armed man. Chasing you, cracking his jaw as he gets closer and closer. Six pulls you into a big elevator-like room, closing the door behind you.

You look back and notice that the door has...two empty spaces, being supported by metal pieces...A perfect space for his ha-
Suddenly, his arms push through the spaces, struggling, trying to grab..
Terrified, you look around for someplace to hide. You spot a box and quickly crouch behind it, curling up into a ball, trying to block everything out, covering your eyes and ears. You can't hear anything, so you just take the time to think. About what a coward you are... Now Six is probably gonna get killed, and it'll be your fault. But, she can take a punch, as you clearly know by now. You laugh quietly to yourself.

You feel a small hand tap on your shoulder. You take your hands off of your ears, and don't!t hear any struggling, so you open your eyes too. You see Six,crouching in front of you, wearing a half smile. "What's so funny?" "O-oh, it's nothing, sorry-" Suddenly you remember the long-armed man. "What..?" You look around the room, back towards the door, to see...his arms. Severed, clean off, the spaces now closed, supporting metal bits chucked off. You turn to Six. "Did you..?" You look back at the severed arms, finding it in you to continue. "Oh my gosh that's..."
