You start moving the goo out of the elevator. It's strange, it seems to have stopped moving after it had taken a shape. It's hardened somewhat, too - Your suit is reluctant to absorb it.

Phobia kicks the box with the still-live creature out of the elevator. That's the last you'll be seeing of it. Well, that particular one, at least...

That may be worth a shot, but you don't have access to any water, and you wouldn't know where the nearest puddle would be...

That was the idea. You could stay here for as long as you need to, but eventually you're going to need to do something...
When paired together, Philia and Phobia seem to handle themselves well. They'd be able to go get some help once you get back to ground level.

That might work. You'll have to go get it. You had stashed it somewhere as you were afraid that Tubs might've tried to take it and leave before his contract was up.
You know for a fact that it works on you, but you can't speak for others. You were secretly hoping you'd be long-gone before Tubs had a chance to try it. You don't know what'll happen to him.
...You don't know what'll happen to anyone. This whole situation has really fallen apart, hasn't it? You thought that this was going so well, too... Just empty the goo, fill up on water, and hop out.
They didn't tell you about any of this. They said that you'd encounter resistance. That you'd have to kill. You didn't believe them. Thought you could do it your own way.
You didn't think it'd end up like this. You finally earn the trust of someone, they put their life on the line for you, and then this is what happens. This is what always happens. You wanted to be the hero, but you couldn't have been further from reality. You just can't bring yourself to let it go.
