[ seeing that display name on a tag feels so surreal

Throne makes it through the stairwell with Agnea in tow. That was close. Once she gets to the last door at the end of the stairwell, she can open it...

... to see the heavy metal doors close in over the only exit in the distance that exists in this building with a loud CLUNK and a hissing sound. The exit is sealed.

Moreover, the topmost floor is littered with corpses and a monster. You know what this is.
The Mountain of Smiling Bodies (T-01-75) is an Abnormality taking the form of a big black spherical mass, encrusted with different parts and debris. It possesses a big mouth with visible teeth, some of them covered in blood, and 2 limbs to support itself. Part of its body is covered with white masks with twisted expressions, each one with two black eyes and a mouth.

The Mountain of Smiling Bodies was formed after an accident with an Abnormality which left several casualties. Oddly, all the employees who died were in the same spot, with the corpses piled up on each other. Due to the graphic attack, a Sephirah approved a request to postpone the collection of the bodies. Time passed and the corpses were still there, rotting quickly due to some of them being in bad shape or health.

After a long time, the bodies fused into the Abnormality's current form. The fusion occurred when the corpses were 'smiling', sharing all their body parts, becoming sentient but not fully conscious, and having only one objective in their mind: flesh. The Abnormality constantly seeks corpses to grow bigger and satisfy its hunger for more.
Throne will also know that it's a risk level of ALEPH, the highest risk there is out of five. All she has is a sword and the Abnormality is consuming the corpses to power itself up. Agnea looks terrified and clutches onto Throne.

"Is this... the end...?"

Her voice trembles.
