The fetid air reeked of dust and decay, clinging to Rishang's throat like a shroud as he pleaded with Liam. His voice, hoarse from days of desperate searching, cracked with each desperate word. "Please, Liam," he rasped, his hand gripping Liam's arm with the tenacity of a drowning man. "This death room… it whispers promises it can't keep. What if it's a trap?"

Liam, eyes reflecting an unsettling mix of curiosity and defiance, remained unmoved. The ornate double doors of the death room loomed behind him, their cracked varnish and tarnished hinges hinting at secrets best left undisturbed. A rusted swing set creaked in the distance, its mournful melody a chilling counterpoint to the tense silence hanging heavy in the air.

Amelia knew better. She'd seen the shadows dance within the doorway, felt the unnatural chill emanating from its depths. She'd heard the whispers, too, insidious and seductive, promising answers to questions they shouldn't ask. But Liam, consumed by an insatiable thirst for knowledge and a gnawing sense of unease about their new world, seemed oblivious to the danger.

"It's not worth it," Amelia choked out, her voice barely a whisper above the rhythmic creak of the swing set. "What if… what if it takes you?"

Her words were swallowed by a chilling chuckle that seemed to seep from the very stones beneath their feet. Liam shivered, but his gaze remained fixed on the doors. With a final, determined nod, he slipped past Amelia and Rishang and vanished into the darkness, leaving them alone with the weight of the world pressing down on them.

Every creak, every rustle in the dilapidated building sent shivers down Amelia's spine. Time in this twisted reality seemed to mock her, stretching hours into an agonizing eternity measured only by the frantic drumbeat of her own heart. She checked her watch, a relic from a life she thought she'd lost, but the hands remained stubbornly frozen. She cursed under her breath, a futile gesture in the face of the unknown.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, a sound pierced the silence. A faint chime, followed by another, then another, growing louder with each ring. It was their bell notification system, their only hope of knowing if Liam had escaped the death room's clutches.

Heart pounding like a trapped bird, Amelia rushed towards the building. The final chime, a deafening clang, resonated just as she reached the entrance. But the doorway was empty.

Panic clawed at her throat. Had Liam managed to escape? Or had he fallen victim to the unseen dangers within? Her mind raced with possibilities, each one grimmer than the last.

As she searched the room, her eyes fell on a note left behind, hastily scribbled on a scrap of paper. It read: "Found something intriguing. Going deeper. Don't wait."

Amelia crumpled the note in her fist, a wave of anger and helplessness washing over her. She knew she couldn't leave Liam alone, not in this place. But the thought of venturing back into the death room filled her with dread. The whispers seemed louder now, taunting her, promising answers at a terrible price.

Taking a deep breath, Rishang steeled his nerves. He had to be strong, for Liam, for Himself. He had to find answers, even if it meant facing his deepest fears. With a newfound resolve, Rishang stepped back into the shadows, the unsettling chime of their notification system echoing behind him, a constant reminder of the danger that awaited.

But as he crossed the threshold, a new sound reached his ears. A faint whimper, barely audible over the creaks and groans of the building. It came from deeper within the darkness, drawing her further into the heart of the death room and the secrets it held…
