Our main character had pressed the green button, tears welling up in his eyes and starting to stream down his cheeks. He just committed indirect suicide. But he didn't commit genocide. For what he assumed was pouring salt on the wound, the monitor turned on again "even in the face of certain doom, you refuse to compromise your morality?" It asked, and our main character nodded "even in the face of certain death.. I will not falter." He said, taking a deep, deep breath and walking towards the door to the final enemy of this part of Labyrinthian. Where his grave would be apparently. But when he got to the door a table appeared on front of him, with a medical kit on it. And the voice from the monitor said "patch yourself up, mister hero. Then I'll restore the blood you lost" to which our main character nodded, taking the medical kit and pulling out the shrapnel from his leg and torso, then stitching up his wounds from them. Then was the one piece under his right eye. He had to be surgical with this. He very carefully took out the chunk of sharp metal, biting down on a leather strap to keep himself from screaming, but he still let out a loud, but muffled scream as the metal was pulled from his flesh, yet he managed to get it out without further damage, stitching the wound in the reflection of the monitor slowly and carefully. Sooner enough, he was stitched and bandaged, and the voice from the monitor kept it's promise, restoring his blood count back to nominal levels. Our main character wasn't fully healed, he still was limping, he still had a minor concussion, and he still was very lightheaded... but he had a better chance of surviving. "Good luck" said the voice as he left, going down the next hallway, the walls still pitch black, but now with purple and blood red wiring instead of the usual light blue. He could feel something dark was ahead of him, something terribly dark. And it would not be as easy as his first "boss fight" was, especially without Isaac there to help. So effectively, he was up shit creek without a paddle still. And he had no clue what to expect. He had gone from the first level's biblical hell to this electrical nightmare. The last final boss was completely different too, so he had to stay in his toes. Nonetheless, he found the exit, walking through the door... and then falling, falling for at least five minutes straight. Until he saw the ground below him, closing his eyes and screaming his final words. "Fuck labyrinthian."
