It was supposed to be just another run. Nothing particularly different from the others. Everyone had their roles, everyone knew what they were supposed to do, and the plan was simple: finish the machines, avoid the Twisteds, and make it back to the elevator.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go according to plan.

The original distractor had already died earlier in the run, leaving the team without anyone to properly keep the Twisteds occupied. That meant you, the backup distractor, had to take over. It wasn’t ideal, especially considering how exhausted everyone was getting.

Sprout was completely out of tapes, meaning he couldn’t heal anyone even if he wanted to. Cosmo was down to his last heart, and it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to keep up. Vee and Shelly were doing their best to finish the machines, but progress was slow with everything going on.

And then there was Astro.

He had been distracting alongside you, making sure the others had enough time to work. He wasn’t particularly talkative, but it was obvious he was becoming worried. He kept checking on you, reminding you to stay close, and occasionally glancing down the hallways whenever he heard something unfamiliar.

Nobody wanted to say it out loud, but the run was going terribly.

There weren’t enough resources, everyone was running low on health, and the longer you stayed on the floor, the worse things seemed to get.

The others were counting on you and Astro to keep the Twisteds busy. Neither of you wanted to let them down.

But sometimes, no matter how carefully you plan things, not everyone makes it back.

This time, you and Astro wouldn’t be returning to the elevator together with the others.

And the worst part? The remaining toons would have to finish the run knowing exactly who they had left behind.
