Welcome to your final stop in our little game, children. Sure, this room may have been occupied previously; but, it's made extra special just for you. Sitting on a single folding chair are Andy Gallagher (fresh from watching the murder of his friends) and Nymphadora Tonks, who probably thought she had died. Don't they make such a cute couple? C'mon, really!

That folding chair is set in the center of the room beneath a single bulb that is slowly pulsing light to dark as it plays a slow and tedious game with their line of sight. The room looks wet, and at it's brightest is quite red. Lining the walls, as before is a collection of mirrors in all shapes and sizes and status of wholeness. We really wanted you to look at your own face, Andy.

In one corner, just for you two, we brought in a special guest! Unfortunately, they didn't make it in so well. Slumped over with her moonbeam-shiny blonde hair is one Luna Lovegood. Sorry, Tonks, you couldn't protect her. From the looks of it, she'd been burned. Well, at least her hands. The rest of the burns? Well, we hid those from you. The room, for better or worse smells pretty much like cooked flesh. Be careful not to breathe too deeply, OK?

The idea that maybe Elliot had gotten them out, since Tonks was certain she hadn't been the one to get them out, made Andy feel a little better. Not much, but some. It was a tiny thing and he didn't want to underestimate Elliot, especially after the way she'd taken charge in the gym after the earthquake - not to mention in the church the other day, but he was supposed to forget that, so he was trying to - and so...Andy would cling to that. He wondered what they'd gone through and where they'd been, but now wasn't exactly the time to ask.

Tonks parrotted him and all he could do was nod more to himself than to her as he swallowed hard, Adam's apple bobbing in his throat. Eventually, he had to let her go, because they weren't going to get anywhere just standing around cowering away from Luna's corpse. Fuck, that hurt to even think... It didn't surprise him when she turned quickly back toward him. Andy could see the tears in her eyes and his own averted away out of respect for her privacy. He gave her a curt nod in agreement.

"Come on, look you go...over there," he said, pointing away from Luna, "and look for a break in the wall that could be a door or something. I'm gonna..." His voice trailed off and he swallowed thickly again. "I'm gonna check her," he said softly. Luna looked pretty dead to him, but if they found a way out and she was even barely clinging to life, she was coming with them, even if he had to carry her. There was no way in hell he was going to leave her there if she was still alive, even if it was only by a thread.
