[ To the stairwell! The only way to escape is to go up. The perils of being in an underground facility. What's worse is that some of the ceiling starts to cave in with large debris starting to fall. Please roll a d20. If Dion rolls a 10 or higher he survives. If not, Dion or Kihel or both will get pancaked. ]
[ HELP ME well thankfully dion might not be a pole dancer, but he has done plenty of cardio and he rolled a 17, so he's zooming up the stairs and weaving out of the way of the debris. they really got trapped in here to die, huh? ]
Dion and Kihel makes it to the top of the stairwell where there is the lone exit door that leads to the top most floor. On this floor, the exit would be here. When he opens the door, he'll see the one and only exit door on the other side of the floor close and lock with a loud clink.
The top floor is also riddled with many corpses and this monster is absorbing some of these corpses. For some reason, you know what this is.
The Mountain of Smiling Bodies was formed after an accident with an Abnormality which left several casualties. Oddly, all the employees who died were in the same spot, with the corpses piled up on each other. Due to the graphic attack, a Sephirah approved a request to postpone the collection of the bodies. Time passed and the corpses were still there, rotting quickly due to some of them being in bad shape or health.
After a long time, the bodies fused into the Abnormality's current form. The fusion occurred when the corpses were 'smiling', sharing all their body parts, becoming sentient but not fully conscious, and having only one objective in their mind: flesh. The Abnormality constantly seeks corpses to grow bigger and satisfy its hunger for more.
It's also an ALEPH rank, the highest risk rank there is out of the five levels. All you have is the red sword and the exit is forever shut. Perhaps you would have made it in time if you didn't go back to help Kihel.
[ slowly, he sets kihel down, and readies the sword. it's not his preferred weapon, lacking the heft and weight of his usual lance, but he's well trained enough to feel confident.
confident in what, considering the door is shut? he has no idea. ]
Cover your eyes, and do not move from this place until I the path is clear.
[ even if there is no escape, he won't let the two of them become part of this creature. so he lifts the sword and strikes against the monster's side, trying to trap it between himself and the wall. and he rolled an 18, damn. ]
[ Dion's 18 will actually make the monster pause for a moment as the sword sinks into the body, absorbing all movement physics. It doesn't move at all. But once Dion is close enough after the "strike", it opens its gaping maws and takes a bite out of the upper right portion of the head.
RIP Dion... you did your best, but not even a 20 would stop this beast. You are a mere employee here, and not someone who can transform into the king of dragons. Kihel screams before you black out.
But after that, Dion will find himself back out of the void with Yuri looking concerned over him. All that is gone now. ]
There's really no grand reason. I just want to live. Living was something that's particularly difficult where I come from, so... I can't shake that mindset off so easily.

Yuri. [ steadily, his mind catches up with what he just experienced ] You— you were left to die? In the corporation?

[ She wasn't special, but yes. ]
I'm sorry you had to see that...

But you survived.

The person calling out for help... I left her behind, because I wanted to live. She was my friend... my coworker.

I wouldn't judge you for it. We choose to save ourselves over others in more subtle ways either way.
Though it does surprise me.
