Uh. Well. After that, everything around us looked normal again, except it turned out we were the fleshy blob things, and everyone we'd killed to defend ourselves was actually someone we knew and cared about. So like— we'd just fought off six cops with guns and managed to kill 'em all just before that, but then when we looked back at that scene again, it was like... big H and Koko and TM and people we knew from home there on the floor in this bloody mess.
And that's when I looked at a security monitor that was showing the floor we'd started on, and saw you dead in that one room, and then... the others we'd run into up there at the beginning.
