Conquering the Tower Even Regressors Couldn’t

The Community of the Dead, on the sixty-first floor.

[Hey, guys, don’t you think there’s something up with that girl, Natalie?]

[Ninety-nine percent of the people here already know that, so shut up. Stop acting like you’re the only one who figured it out.]

[No, I mean, let’s try to piece together her secret. Why are you so on edge? Did you die recently?]

[Oh, so dying early is something to brag about now?]

[Damn, but seriously, imagine the pain effect targeted the dick. That’d be absolute hell.]

[ 😂 Yeah, there’s no way anyone could clear the trial in that case.]

[Wait, hold on guys—pain and paralysis. If both effects land on the same body part, wouldn’t that cancel out the pain?]

[Are you an idiot? What does paralysis have to do with pain?]

[You a liberal arts major or something? If a limb is fully paralyzed, it can’t feel pain.]

[Wait, for real?]

[Yeah, it’s legit.]
