I don't think they did all the effort of bringing us here for entertainment just to let us die by falling down a hole. Do you?

Of course, I could be wrong, but I have little control over the situation regardless. Let's see what happens.

I suppose you have a point.

That said, they could still "kill" us over and over again, without letting us actually die. I imagine it'll still hurt like hell.

I wouldn't call "shattering into a hundred pieces" a "little bit" of pain.

[outsidebones]

Have you done it before?

[shaft]

Well, no.

[outsidebones]

[shaft]

For a second I thought you were going to be reassuring.
