The Stairwell Chute
the stairwell
The way off the ninth floor, taken one by one by the survivors as Larracos burns behind them.
Story so far
With Emberus minutes from destroying The Ninth Floor, the stairwell was the only exit. Imani called time; Louis said he was right behind her; Bautista paused in its mouth to deliver his warning about Kimaris before descending; Samantha dove in after him demanding the Kimaris Figure.
Last of all, Carl and Donut walked into the stairwell together, leaving the now-empty battlefield of Larracos behind them.
Appearance
A doorway and descending stairwell at the edge of a scorched battlefield, ash and heat pouring in behind those who enter.
Role
The exit from the ninth floor, and the chapter's last image of the group leaving together.
