Everest
About to point out that having their backs against a wall is the same as being trapped, the argument dies on Ever's lips as Mateo's voice warbles out. Chilled to the bone already, the sound of clunking movement upstairs is enough to have his blood turning to ice in his veins, and had it not been for Mateo's hand around his, Ever probably would have turned into a stone statue right then and there.
"—rrrgg!" The boy groans, stumbling in Mateo's wake and somehow ridiculously also trying to count the number of steps that they're taking.
"What?" Ever hisses, incredulous once they're in the side room. "But...but we can't stay here." He protests. "The point was to prove to Marny that there was nothing here, and there clearly is something here." So..you know, game over. We lose. Home time pls.
But then, because fear isn't everything, Ever bites his lip. "My...my guitar is still out there." He whispers, looking at Mateo hopefully.

But if the song never stopped, it wouldn't have any magic
So even though it's gotta end, I'll keep singing along
