As Karl ran outside, he felt strings around his body, but he was already in motion and unable to stop. His body moved through the sharp thread, as they entered deep into his flesh and cut into him, slicing through flesh and bone alike.
By the time he reached the hallway, his body was already sliced by the invisible strings, causing blood to splatter everywhere and his sliced flesh to rolled into the hallway. His head spun around in circles, before finally halting.
His salvation, his light... meant nothing more than an inevitable death.
This same tragedy befell everyone else, they saw a hope, ran to it, and died gruesomely. Everyone except Nathan.
After they were sliced up by the strings, everything went dark as they felt a cold void swallow them up. Unable to scream, unable to cry, they just faded away into darkness.
