No, Purvis, we can't. If there ever was a sign to leave before things get worse, that was it.
And besides, there's another problem, on top of everything else. The torch. That torch isn't going to burn forever, and it's the only one we've got left. If we get blacked out down here, we've had it. That's it. Game over. The longer we stay, not only do we get weaker from our wounds, not only do we soak up more toxins, not only do we lose more blood, but our only light source gets closer and closer to going out.
So, that's it.
