Summary
‘Stay still.’ Nine said to stay still. Is that what it meant by ‘careful’?
His fingers are clenched on the doorframe and his forehead is pressed firmly against it as he tries to use it to keep himself upright.
He’s scared. He’s really, really scared. There’s no way he can talk about it other than to say he’s scared. Suddenly he feels claustrophobic; the only thing that alleviates his fear is the light shining into the corner of his view, just enough to remind him that he’s still alive.
Stay still, he repeats in his mind.
Whatever this place is, he has the feeling it's not good. At least Nine is still talking to him. He knows he can trust Nine; he's trusted it until now. Of course, he doesn't know anything about it, or if its name even is Nine, but... that's fine, right?
He just has to keep doing what it tells him to until he reaches the end, and maybe he won't die.

Summary
“Should I be sad?” he asks. He might be sad. He thinks he’s sad. Maybe he got used to the luxury of companionship. God, ‘companionship’? Can he call it a companion? “Since it’s not coming back, I guess.”
It said it’d be back, though. Has it ever outright lied to him before? It’s omitted things and side-stepped the truth, but it’s never actually lied to his face. Maybe that means something.
Or maybe it’s only just started lying to him in earnest.
Nine is gone, which means a lot of things— but first and foremost, it means that he's alone again.

Summary
He nods. It’s hard to breathe. But he’s trying. He’s doing a good job, right? Breathing. In and out. His leg burns like it’s been drenched in lava. He hasn’t seen so much of his own blood in his life. Usually when things hit you they kill you.
It’s almost like this thing enjoys the chase more than the catching.
Truth be told, Baron's never had to treat his own wounds before.
