*They've now reached a dead end on the first floor, so they go back to re-explore the second floor. As they crossed their bridge...*

*CRACK*

*A piece of the floor on the other side falls and they quickly pick the board back up before it can fall. They walk to the northern end of the hall and lay the board over the hole there and walk over it, successfully, and come to another stairway.*

???: Please, wait...

Cassie: Huh? Did you say something, Paris?

Paris: Hmm?

Cassie: ... It... wasn't you?
(I definitely felt a presence of some kind...)

*They can't continue up the stairs because the top of the stairs are piled with rubble. So, they head back down to the second floor. They go into a classroom right of the stairway. They head inside and...*

Cassie: AAHH!

Paris: Ow! What's wrong, Cassie?

Cassie: L-Look! Over there! Aren't those... bones? Like, PEOPLE bones?

*Paris steps forward to get a better look.*

Paris: EEEEEEEEK!!
Wh-What... Why... Why is there a dead person here?!

Cassie: W-Wait. Let me look more closely. Maybe... they're not real...

*They step forward and take another look at the bones*

Cassie: They really are... somebody's bones...

Paris: Nooooo...!

*Paris runs off*

Cassie: Paris!

???: . . . Y o u t w o . . .

Cassie: Eep!

???: ... You two are new victims, are you not?

Paris: A gh-gh-ghost!

Cassie: Wh-Wh... who are you?

?
Spirit: I was brought here against my will... and confined... just like you...

Cassie: "Confined"? Do you mean... there's no way out...?

Spirit: I'm afraid not. This school exists in a reality all its own, cut off front the world you know.

Cassie: So why... have we been brought here?

Spirit: ..."They" brought you. They're constantly bringing new victims into this school. More and more, all the time...
Sinless innocents, one after another...
This is a cursed, multidimensional nexus... multiple planes of existence, all piled on top of one another... created by powerful, vengeful spirits.
"Closed space"... or perhaps, "closed spaces"... You, and and we as well, are the unlucky victims of an inescapable abduction...

Cassie: Closed... spaces?

Spirit: Indeed. And it seems you two are not the only ones to have been brought here. I'm sensing numerous others...

Cassie: What?!
(Does that mean... everybody else... is here too? ... Are they... okay... I wonder...?)

Paris: So our friends... are in this school too?

Spirit: I don't know the exact number, but I do know that others where pulled into these spaces at the same time as you...
They are definitely in this school.

Paris: Oh my God, that's SUCH good news! Cassie, they're here! We're not alone!

Cassie: ...

Paris: That means Despair's here, too! I'll bet that makes you feel a lot better, right?
