**The Facility chapter** *The group remains trapped, lacking the high-level keycard needed for the armory or the floor where their parents await.* *Ashlyn groans, her restlessness palpable as the solution remains elusive.* "Ugh... It's stressing me out, how do we even *GET* a keycard??" *Taylor attempts to soothe her, arms crossed, mirroring her own uncertainty.* "It's fine. We have time." *Aiden interrupts abruptly—* "Do we really? I'm booored..." *Tyler shoots him a sharp look,* "We do. It's just that *you* can't wait for anything. I suggest we at least have something to do while trying to figure stuff out." *Ashlyn, Taylor, and Ben nod in agreement with Tyler. A distraction will help their minds. Logan, however, remains silent, clearly overthinking potential ideas.*
