You didn’t know what to think as you slammed your hand against the RED, heart throbbing in emotional pain as the machine recognised your bracelet and the fourth asterisk appeared. You were tired, sore, emotionally overwhelmed and all you wanted to do was escape.
‘I wanted you to know
I love the way you laugh’
Escape with him.
With Santa.
But for Heaven’s sake, not like this.
‘I wanna hold you high and steal your pain, away
I keep your photograph’
You glanced to the side, watching the golden revolver that Santa had poised against June’s temple. The poor girl was still frantic, her eyes cast out longingly towards Junpei, who had made his resolve. If you and Ace went with Santa, June would be saved from two threats. She wouldn’t have to die.
“Good job. Now _____, pull the lever. Soon as the door opens, get your ass in. Try anything stupid and you know what happens, right?”
You inhaled, pulling the lever and watching as the set of double doors opened with a dark rumble.
Door number 9 opened at last.
“All right! Go!”
You watched as Ace disappeared into the darkness beyond the door. Santa sent you an incredibly sharp gaze as you hesitated. Thinking wiser, you almost leaped past the threshold, listening as the seconds ticked by.
6… 7… 8…
“Later.”
Santa pulled June through with a mighty heave, and the door slid closed. You now had to find the DEAD. Luckily it was just on the other side of the door, and you all scanned your hands, relieved when the red skull on your wristwatch returned to that all too familiar digital 8.
“Keep going.” Santa ordered, and you all began to move down the hallway. He’d let June go by now, and you rushed to steady her.
‘And I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain’
“Santa, what in God’s name are you doing?” You yelled sharply, scolding him and resisting the urge to cause physical harm. Not when he was holding a weapon of such power – you didn’t want anyone hurt.
“I’m getting us out of here.”
“By leaving the others behind!? We could have saved them, Santa! We could have saved Junpei and Clover! We might have even saved Seven. Now they’re stuck and they won’t be able to get out alive! You’ve just murdered two people, Santa!”
There was a click, and your eyes widened as the revolver was pressed against your forehead.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away’
“Shut up. The RED’s don’t need a person – just the watch.”
He pulled the gun back and continued walking, a vice-like grip steadying the revolver.
‘You've gone away,’
Why did you have to fall in love with a cold hearted murderer?
‘You don't feel me, anymore.’
