At the upper level, Marco had already reached the South Tower.
“Phew! What a fun ride! I never felt so alive in ages! I gotta do that again sometime later, hehe.”
He trotted into the tower’s top floor. Things were going pretty well.
But... a problem rose.
“What the... seriously, now?”
The layout of the tower was different than its siblings. Whereas in previous towers, he could see spiraling stairs from the top. But not for the South Tower.
For it is walled. To add trouble, there’s a reinforced door that has a keyhole.
“Great... yeah, sure. Just great. It’s locked.”
*CLANG! *CLANG!
“Yup, it’s metal-reinforced. What a perfect way to fuel a nightmare into light, huh. Let’s see what I can do to get past this...”

Meanwhile, the situation below Marco was absolutely grim.
“AIILYYY!!!” Nina shouted through the hole that emerged on the middle level skybridge.
