Rose and Elena finally made it past the experiment areas onto the 80th floor. The things they saw on the past 5 floors were so harrowing that the two were forced to take a break and collect themselves.

'I-I'll be fine.' Elena responded, though her voice was weak and shaking. Her entire body was shivering occasionally as she recalled what she had witnessed.
