This was it. They were doomed. The sky was literally falling atop them, and they couldn’t do shit about it. They just had to accept their fate.

Bottle sighed and stared at the sky, her face full of dread. She saw everyone hugging their friends, saying their goodbyes. It started to settle in that they were going to die. The glitching sound of timelines going askew only got louder and louder.

Suddenly, she felt someone wrap their arms around her side. She looked down and saw that Pen was clinging onto her. She wrapped her arms around him, trying for comfort the poor soul. He was without Eraser, of course, as the two of them had gotten separated when the latter had been eliminated.

Someone else tackled her side. It was Liy. Of course, she’d spent years in the EXIT… so long that she barely knew anyone. So, Bottle let one arm go of Pen, wrapping it around the light switch instead. She rubbed their backs and shushed the two of them comfortingly.

She then looked back up as the two of them squeezed their eyes closed and tensed. The crack in the sky was growing by the second, and they were going to die.

And everyone braced for the inevitable.
