"We can worry about everything else later," he said, "but first we have to worry about you. Now come on."

He stepped over to Midnight's left and hooked her arm in his. With Iris's help he carried the boss over to the room as directed. Past the bookcase sat the staircase, just as promised; still, he almost tripped in his haste. Thankfully, this flight of stairs was much more forgiving than the ones he traversed previously, but Matias could already feel his legs start to cry.

"Don't even make me think about stairs when we're out of here," he grumbled.
