Bunker Side Room

Side Room Adjacent to the Bunker Corridor

Cramped side room off the bunker corridor where Doctor, Sarah, Harry, and Nyder slip in to evade pursuit. Shadows cling to scarred metal walls as they huddle, breaths ragged from the scuffle, Nyder's defiance cracking under pressure. The space traps the corridor's chaos—echoing footsteps outside, stale air thick with sweat and fear—offering only a heartbeat's respite before Sevrin interrupts. This utilitarian bolt-hole serves as a fragile sanctuary against pursuit, marked by bare walls and sparse furnishings in the labyrinthine laboratory complex.
