---Like it was holding the entire world in it's hands.
---The cackling of a skeleton.
---Erupts again as something pierces the orb.
Something pierces your legs, the sound of metal scraping against bone.
There are no warning signs from your opponent, no direct line between you and him, simply a sudden flash of intense pain and the feeling of gravity suddenly gripping your body as the world
rips open beneath you.
---The culprits are strange white chains.
Digging into your flesh like sadistic hooks, their violent pull on your body is ruthless, like hell itself had opened up to swallow you whole-!
You slam into some things on the way down, unable to wrench yourself free from the sudden, titanic pull on the other end, but eventually...
You come to a stop.
---Around you, there are a myriad number of staircases, the things you had been slamming into on the way down, and one you were now holding in a death grip to keep from plunging even further, all tinted in a strange crimson light...
Reminiscent of a certain pit from your childhood, and...
"Ludwig...?"
A certain voice echoes out from down below...
About three floors down?
It's Lara's voice, and with it...
...Something starts tugging on the chains again in an attempt to pull you down, chains you can't seem to dig out with your hands, as...
"Don't crawl out this time."
The Skeletal Gunman's voice calls down from above...
In a completely emotionless tone.
