And now he was venturing into the more dangerous parts of the institute. He needed to exercise extreme caution from here forward. More so than usual, anyhow.
...He had barely gone much of anywhere so far and already the tightening in his chest felt unbearable. The hand holding his flashlight was shaking slightly, causing the beam to quiver in an annoying, distracting way. He stopped for a few seconds, a brief allowance to simply take a few deep breaths.
Calm down. Focus. Don't overthink, but focus. One thing at a time. First, he needed to confirm some things for himself. After that, he would consider this new claim of Herr Doktor's and consider what could be done about it. The man needed to be stopped. Immediately. There had to be something that could be done, even from their position, in order to prevent this from going any further. Anything.
...But then again, maybe that was just him holding onto a naive hope again. Maybe there really was nothing that could be done at all. All they could do was sit and wait for the inevitable. Maybe they really were all doomed. ...But dammit, they still had to try, didn't they? They had to.
