"You're in the hallway now."
"What hallway…?"
"The one that remembers you."
"And when it's done…"
"You won't remember what you were trying to save."
Lina.
Ethan tried to hold onto her—
But she slipped.
Fading.
Then—
"…Ethan… don't forget me…"
He turned.
A door.
Open.
Lina inside.
Crying.
"Help me!"
The creatures froze.
Watching.
Ethan ran.
"LINA!"
He grabbed her hand—
Warm.
Real.
"…that's not her."
He froze.
Too late.
Her grip tightened.
Too strong.
Her face lifted.
The tears stopped.
Her smile—
Stretched.
Wrong.
"Oh, Ethan…"
"You're making this too easy."
SLAM.
The door crushed his arm.
CRACK.
He screamed.
It didn't open.
It held him there.
The hallway fell silent.
Then—
Every door opened wider.
Something deeper inside them—
Finally coming out.
And Ethan—
Couldn't escape.
