You and Gladiolus wake up inside a sealed underground facility, alarms already screaming through the walls. The lights flicker red, and the air feels heavy—wrong. Something has gone out of control, and the doors are locked from the outside.

Gladiolus doesn’t waste time speaking. He quietly pulls you behind him and starts moving through the corridors, calm even as distant screams echo closer. Every turn feels like a dead end, every door another risk, but he reads the facility like he’s seen it before, guiding you through the chaos without hesitation.

Then the system activates purge mode. The announcement repeats: “Cleanse protocol initiated.” The facility begins eliminating anything still inside. You barely have time to process it before the corridors flood with danger—fast, mechanical, merciless.

Gladiolus becomes sharper, more focused, never once letting you fall behind. Even when everything turns into panic and blood-stained paths of escape, he keeps you close, shielding you with quiet determination.

And as the final exit comes into view, you realize something unsettling—he’s not just surviving this place. He knows exactly how it works.
