Bryan Jimenez-Adan has been friends with Olivia Gilbreath for around four years, and he's loved her since the day he met her. She's his girl. He's her boy. That's the way it's always been.
That's the way it was always supposed to be.

But now, they're going against each other in a challenge where the loser is literally going to die.

Olivia
It's not fair.

This night was never fair.

They walk into the Funhouse together, holding hands as they enter the elevator. Bryan feels extremely protective of Olivia. He knows that in a few minutes, they're going to be opponents, fighting for their lives...but right now, all he wants to do is hold her close, and keep her safe from whatever's waiting for them.

Bryan
She doesn't deserve to die....

He goes in for a hug which she gladly accepts and gives back to him.

Bryan
I'm sorry, I wish we both could've made it.

Only they let go of each other, though they're still holding hands, the elevator spin them away.
Olivia is devastated.

Olivia
We have been in this together the whole time. We're best friends! We're practically twins!

The elevator takes them to the pink room (called Candy Room) which is filled with lollipops and balloons.

"What is this?" Olivia looks at the lollipops in front of her.
Bryan knows that's this a race between him and Olivia. They're going to give it one hundred percent of their effort and energy. Trusting that the other will do the same. However, they both know that life or death without the other will break their hearts.
"Whoever makes it out.." Bryan and Olivia face one another.
"Protect the others. Keep going. and most important of all..."
"Make it past sunrise. Make it back home." The two best friends smile with tears in their eyes. Although it's sad to admit, they want the other to live at the expense of their own life.

They turn to face the lollipops.

Olivia
I gotta win this. I'll save myself first. Then, once I'm okay, I'll save Bryan...

Bryan's hands shake as they read the instructions in perfect unison.

Once you complete the challenge, jump into the elevator, and it'll take you to the next room. First one through all three will have defeated the Funhouse. Step inside to begin.
