Larynx's POV

So, like... apparently, Zooble offered to drown themselves in the digital lake and um... I didn't do anything about it. Yes, very alarming. But it wasn't disturbing, Bubble is disturbing. Anyways, Caine is still gone, and I'm getting suspicious about something. Cain's probably messing up his AI again.

"So..." Ragatha said, "What do you think about this 'future update'?"

"I think it's bullcrap." Zooble replied.

"I'm betting Jax $20 that something bad is gonna happen." Pomni says, eyeing Jax.

"And what if I win?"Jax asks.

"You won't." I reply simply.

Just then, there were diamonds scattered around the place. Then a time is shown, '6 more digital days'.

"So we're timed now? Caine seriously timed us?" Jax asks.

"You always assume the worst." Ragatha replies.

"That's because he got issues." I explain.

"No but for real though."

Then we were immediately given instructions; 'Collect all REAL diamonds from reality and restore them back to the exit. You'll each be given 6 digital days to complete this, if you don't, you're stuck here. - Abel'

I'm overly surprised that Abel actually managed to maybe fix the AI, or maybe damage Caine's. But other than that, I WANT TO GO HOME.

We all were literally rushing to find all the diamonds they were assigned to in some color, though Pomni finished first somehow and I'm over here internally crying inside because of ANXIETY.

Once like 2 digital days were done, we all were exhausted... like, we nearly felt like passing out and abstracting.

"How many diamonds do you guys have?" Ragatha asks.

"I have like... 50." I answer.

"I have 72." Pomni says.

"69." Jax says.

"60." Kinger says.

"I have 40." Vision says.

"I have 70." Zooble says.

"I have 57." Hybrid says.

"I have 70." Gangle says.

"Good, I have 78." She answers finally.

"78? Aren't we supposed to have an equal amount." I asked.

"Uh, no. We just need to find all diamonds in 6 digital days." Jax informs me.

Instead of me saying goodnight humanity I'm saying goodnight Jax. I would violate him but like... no thanks. He's already flatter than cardboard.

"So... we gotta put these back in the exit door?" Pomni asked.

"Duh." I answer.

"Well SHEESH. I was gonna point out that we don't know where it is."

"Oh, right." Totally forgot about that exit-finding thing.

"So you're saying all hope is lost...?" Kinger asks.

Pomni nods. Then, she broke Kinger. Sticks and stones may break bones but words hurt Kinger.

We were all internally panicking. It took 3 days to try and find the damn exit and just escape this place!

Then when I went onto the grounds, I saw the exit. THE FUCKING EXIT. I wanted to go in myself but I HAD to help everyone else... unfortunately. (I was open to helping Pomni)
