[ Four? Lapis looks over the group, lips pressing into a thin line as she clutches at Jinwoo's hand - out of everyone who came in here, only four will survive. It's not a fight, it's a massacre.
And it's becoming clear now that they have to watch this to the very end, when they're unable to leave when the door opens. Lapis watches, breath catching in her throat as she catches up with what this puzzle means; if they stay and stop the statues from moving, they have a chance to live, they all do. But one of them leaves, guaranteeing a blind spot.
And now there's only three left. With the girl too petrified to move and Jinwoo having lost a leg, she can see how this ends. ]
Jinwoo... [ She can't take her eyes away, hoping that maybe she's assuming wrong. He's standing right next to her, and he said there's four survivors. So he must be okay. ]
Jinwoo, what's going to happen to you. [ Maybe he'll tell her she's wrong, that there's a way for all of them to leave. ]
[ Maybe instead of trying to usher her out, Jinwoo should honestly admit what is about to happen here. It's not that easy to do, though. He could try distracting her one way or another—Jinwoo's lips curl up in a small smile when a thought of kissing her crosses his mind, as insane as it is. ]
[ Jinwoo says not to worry, but she's finding it hard to do that. Especially when the last two start to leave - the older man helping to carry the girl out through the doors. Her hand clenches tightly around his, breath catching in her throat as she watches those statues move. ]
[ There's a quiet sound of surprise when Jinwoo pulls her into the hug, but Lapis doesn't fight it. Her eyes glance over to where the Jinwoo of the past sits, sword lifted in a vain attempt to protect himself. But then she forces them shut, breathing out shakily as she nods - tensing when she hears the brief second of screaming before her ears are covered.
Lapis can handle death, she's even died before herself, but... She can't bear to see someone she cares for so much suffer like this. ]
This isn't fair... [ Now she's mumbling to herself, anything to keep herself distracted so she doesn't open her eyes and look. ] You did so much to help everyone else escape.

It's going to get ugly. Really ugly.

Should... Should I keep watching?

No, there's no need. [ He sighs softly before pulling her into a tight hug. ] I'll die here, but I'll be fine. So... just stay here, okay?
[ He places both of his hands on her temples, ready to cover her ears as soon as he hears the first agonizing scream. ]
