Purple Hyacinth 104: Time Tomb (with Fwoot and Ocean)

***Content warning for violence and dark events.***

Kieran, at the edge of losing his strength, stops the PS members throwing nitro bomb from the roof. He also discovers the tunnels - TUNNEL THEORY!!! - and thinks they may use it as a way out.

Lauren limps towards him, almost blacking out, but still managing to exchange insults. Their levity is soured, however, by the message they hear over the PS radio: the basement is about to explode.

Lauren's trauma response is triggered and she nearly has a panic attack, remembering the ATST and envisioning what could happen to her friends. To pull herself out of it, she uses extreme pain and jams her gun into her wound.

Kieran is shocked, understanding, and admiring, and together, supporting each other, they head down to try to stop it.

Lauren sees an APD member and tries to warn him, but her warning only ends up with the APD officer dead. Kieran uses his body as a shield and grabs his radio, using it to warn Tristan of the impending danger.

When they reach the basement, they discover the last PS member and a time bomb, and a tragic event shows them that this is really down to the wire.

Recorded in Kog aan de Zaan, Netherlands.
