(two steps back are all jonas is comfortable taking as zack makes their exit. he hadn't tried breaking them and he wonders why he didn't. was it panic that made him forget the violent solution? self-sabotage?)
Okay. Okay. (jonas speaks in a hushed tone, practically chanting it, trying to psyche himself up as he keeps directly behind zack. they're through the first mirror, followed distantly now by an echoing "quick!" and "okay, okay, okayβ"
the most beautiful thing jonas has seen all night is a simple rectangular sign visible from their distance down the long hall. its glowing, red letters spell "exit," and he gasps inward at them, pointing as though zack can't see it.)
Theβthat's it! It's over there! (his pace quickens, bringing them almost shoulder to shoulder.) It's... It's not a reflection, right? Is it real?
