[i][color=0064CF]"So now we have a causality. Presumably [b]less[/b] than [b]24 hours[/b] after we woke up, [b]there is already a[/b]—"[/color][/i]
[i][color=FF9B30]"Look ahead."[/color][/i]
[i][color=0064CF]"After I see where the next— ...Oh. My. God."[/color][/i]

Sasha stared with disbelief at what she just saw: Alex at the end of the hallway [i]alive[/i].

[b][color=00CC00]"He [i]survived that[/i]?!"[/color][/b] she exclaimed. She froze in her position for a good five seconds before a taser singed the top of her head and she remembered to on keep moving before another taser would do something much, [i]much[/i] more devastating.

[i][color=FF9B30]"He lived, and not only that, he got to the end before any of us did. I wonder how Echo would react to that."[/color][/i]
[i][color=0064CF]"[b]What is this sorcery[/b]?! I honestly thought he was going to die! Not that I actually want him dead, but legit, an electric shock [b]straight to the goddamn chest[/b] would've probably killed him either way you slice it! Even if it didn't kill him, he would've probably been knocked unconscious and would've either died by other means anyway! Plus, it would've been difficult for [b]anyone[/b] to try to drag him out of this maze of sparks unless Echo is nice enough to turn the tasers off, which obviously won't happen."[/color][/i]
[i][color=FF9B30]"Well, now look, which one of us needs to calm down around here?"[/color][/i]
[i][color=0064CF]"Shut up! We're talking about a guy who just survived a frapping [b]taser to the chest[/b]! I mean, is this even [b]real[/b]?! I'm not even going to be surprised that Echo reveals to have slipped hallucinogens in the vents or something. Maybe we did hallucinate Cinia float. But point is: Alex got a mother-frapping [b]TASER. TO THE CHEST. AND SURVIVED.[/b]"[/color][/i]
[i][color=FF9B30]"So, want to go see if he really is okay?"[/color][/i]
[i][color=0064CF]"Goddamn straight I wanna see if he really is alright! I wanna see if he really did survive or if he actually did die and but got turned a zombie or something."[/color][/i]

Sasha dashed past Cinia as she made her way through the rest of the tasers to meet up with Alex at the door.

[b][color=00CC00]"Alex, is that you? Is that seriously you? Are you actually here and [i]alive[/i]?"[/color][/b]

She put her hand over her face as she lowered her head down. For once, she let her impulses talk. 

[b][color=00CC00]"I legitimately thought that you were going to die right then and there! The way that taser hit you looked so bad, I seriously thought there was nothing to be done, I thought there was nothing I could do, so I just went onwards, hoping to God that someone else would know how to take care of your situation while I try not to get hurt myself. I just—, I just—..."[/color][/b]

She is now tearing up from the emotional pressure. Of course, this cannot be seen as her hand is over her eyes, and her forehead was facing and resting on the doorframe.

[b][color=00CC00]"I guess... what I'm trying to say is, are you okay? Like, are you legitimately okay? Like, how do I word this? Uhh... are you sure you're perfectly fine? That hit from that taser just looks so bad, I just wanted to see if you're alright... Are you hurt? Or in pain? There we go, that's what I'm trying to ask, 'are you in pain?' Are you in pain? Just, that shock looked really, really, really, painful and... you can figure out the rest.[/color][/b]

She brushed the tears off her eyes and finally faced towards him. 

[b][color=00CC00]"I'm just relived that you're at least alive. God only knows what I'd do when I found out that it's less than a day since I woke up here and I had to witness someone being killed mere metres away from me..."[/color][/b]

She walked in front of Alex and offered her hand to help him up from the ground.
