I think the soulbounds should be permanent, but I think something interesting on later floors would be a forced separation after they think they're past that. It'd really challenge them as far as builds go when they start choosing stuff that is more dependent on each other? I think there could be floor separated for rewards, and then ^ above after a stretch where they are together by default? 

Yes yes yes. On the sponsor time being something OP and that is used at once. I really want them to get cut off and something bad happen at a 
[hr]PVP on the second floor would be interesting!- But if we don't find the opportunity for it maybe it can be something that affects them later (like how the parents who are chasing Carl do and it comes back) 

[hr]No worries at all! - It's been busy for me too!
