"Woah..."

You and Benrey had been floating in a dark void with spots of black and magenta checkers scattered around. The only acception of light was from inside the facility. It was like you actually no-clipped out of the facility. Well- you did, but you just could believe it at first.

"Cool right? Want that tour now?" Benrey stared at your awe-stricken face, giving you a second to answer before flying a little closer to you.

"Uhh... No, we don't have time... But... This- this is sick...!" You looked at him and gave him a chuckle.

"I know right! It's like we turned cheats on. We can go wherever we want now." He flashed you a small smile as he flew around in the abyss.

"Can other people do this?" You questioned, doing a little flip to test out the gravity in here. There didn't seem to be any, and you weren't sure if that was good or not.

"I'unno. I think you and I can only do it. I uhh- didn't think you'd actually follow me in here. Physically." He just shrugged and crossed his arms. You frowned, not really pleased with that answer, but brushed it off anyways.

You two were quiet for a moment before you decided to break it with a bleak question.

"So, about the shortcut?"

"Wha? Oh. Yeah, let's go."

Benrey took ahold of your hand and dragged you in the direction of the lobby. On your way over however, you spotted Gordon and the others, going the same way, just in a longer direction. You had tugged your hand away from Benrey's to see what they were talking about.

"Pick up that can."

"I'm doing it man." You watched as Bubby ordered the struggling brunette to pick up a can, to which he was failing to do. His hand only phased through it, which you found odd.

"Now put it in the trash can."

"I'm kicking em. You're- you have the wrong game. I don't know what you're talking about." Gordon glared at Bubby as he punted the cans down the ramp. You felt really weird about that joke. It felt like they just broke something but you didn't know what. You looked at Benrey to see if he felt it too.

"Ha ha, what a loser. Can't even pick up a can, bro." Benrey pointed and let out a small chuckle.

"Hey wait, where'd (Y/N) go? They were literally just with us a minute ago." Gordon seemed to have just realized your disappearance, which made you feel a bit bad for leaving them.

"Oh uh... I thought they were right behind me. I don't know where they could've gone." Bubby looked around and tried to search for you. You frowned and got a little bit closer towards them, still outside of the building however.

"Maybe they went with Benrey!" Dr. Coomer flashed him a reassuring smile. Gordon groans and rolled his eyes at the sound of Benrey's name.

"Oh Christ-- of course... He always manages to take the last bit of normalcy I have! I just hope to god he didn't, like- kill her or something..." Gordon rested his face in his hands, shaking his head slowly. The sight of him getting stressed out was really working you up. You looked back at Benrey with a sad expression. Like a puppy not wanting their owner to leave.

"I-I dunno Benrey, maybe we should-" Benrey interrupted you by dragging you by the arm again.

"SHORTCUUUUT!!" He shouted in what you thought was excitement. It caught you off guard and made you blink.
