"Toby... I have to stop," *she said, leaning against a grimy wall.*

*Toby put his head in his hands*
"I don't know where we are. I don't know what sort of monsters live here. I don't even know who I am anymore."

*Beatrice put a hand on his shoulder awkwardly, then changed her mind and wrapped her arm around him.*
"Don't... don't say things like that!"
Or I'll start believing them too.
"We can leave- go back up above ground. And there are no such things as monsters!"

"Yes, there are! Human, maybe, but monsters still!"
*Toby was shaking, feeling far from safe*

*Beatrice swallowed, holding him closer.*
"It's all right! I'll make sure we're all right."
*She didn't like it when he acted like this. She was scared enough without having to be brave for the two of them!*

"Beatrice...maybe you should go on without me."

*She touched his face softly, turning it toward her. She tried to hold back tears.*
"Why would you say that?"

*Toby smiled sadly*
"I'm only slowing you down. I'm scared of everything, I'm only making it harder for you."

*She swallowed, closing her eyes, but a few tears escaped.*
"You... you're not slowing me down! We couldn't have escaped without you- I... Toby, I love you."
*Now, she was crying openly.*

*Toby became a bit flustered*
"Please don't cry, Miss Beatrice. I don't want to make you cry."

*She wiped her eyes ineffectually, and tried to smile.*
"I'm sorry. I don't mean to be so emotional."
He didn't say he loves me back.

*Toby himself wondered why he hadn't told her he loved her. He knew that he once had, very much. But all her killing...it scared him.*
"It's alright. I know we're in a bad time."

*Beatrice nodded, doing her best to stop sniffling.*
"Yes."
*She looked around the tunnel they were in.*
"I wonder where we are..."
