Link Seth smiles. "You're welcome." He loosens his grip to not so tight and the magic fire settles down slightly.
A painting of Chronos making a land explode with lasers can be seen nearby.
Up ahead, there appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel, about 20 paintings away, if a guess had to be made.
"I don't know why, but I really like holding your hand, despite the cold. Has... anyone ever told you how nice you are?" If he still could, link Seth would probably be blushing right now.
"...let's get going now." He begins walking forwards, making sure to stay close to Medi.

Medi's face twists to a somber expression and looks down as she walked, not inclined to answer that question in particular.
She never really remembered anything about anyone telling her how kind she was. If there were, it would have been for something small and inconsequential.
Most of the time, she remembered how much of a nuisance she was in the days she was in the meteor.
Annoyingly anxious, trigger happy, and distrustful. That's what she probably was to the others.
Had Seth known about that, he probably wouldn't even stay 50 feet near her.
The biggest reason why she tried befriending him in the first place was because he didn't know anything about her. The other people didn't tell him anything about how annoying or reckless she was. She could have finally talked to someone without the feeling of being a complete burden to them; after all, they were dimensions away from each other. He'd have never seen the version of her everyone saw.
...Was it manipulative of her to keep that secret? The way they even became friends was dubious at best, even...
When Raz had told him about The Stage, she was devastated; she had thought that there was no way he'd ever forgive her. And part of her knew that she had probably deserved that punishment...And yet she so longed for someone, anyone to talk to. For someone to remember her as someone who wasn't a complete, manipulative, deadweight.
That's when she turned her attention to the pages of a diary. Nobody was using it, so she may as well draw something on it to make herself feel better...Or so she had thought.
"You're...You're much kinder than I would ever be..."

Link Seth thinks about that for a bit. Him? Kinder than Medi? Did she ever learn about what he had done in his past? Too many things he's not proud of. Then again, it's not like anyone besides a few outliers ever gave him reason to show kindness.
She deserves better than this. He may not be able to do much, but maybe, just maybe, confronting Chronos will do something. There's no question about it. Once they get their closure, they can finally rest, or perhaps lend their hands to the perilous and possibly dangerous beyond all compare conflict that is going on elsewhere.
But for now, they must focus on their current goal.
Eventually, they reach the next room.
There is a shallow canal that runs through for quite some twisted length. It is filled with pitch black mountain dew, of course. Thankfully it is not going very fast at all. Mounds of stacked and melted together candles can be seen across the way.
A boat made of Doritos is parked nearby, somehow not melting from floating in the soda canal. The ceiling is a little low and arched, producing numerous echoes.
Link Seth examines the area, very confused.
"What the fuck?"

Even Medi is bewildered by the strange scenery.
Though there is one obvious route...it's a little...strange.
"Should we...Should we take the boat...??"

Link Seth squints at the boat. Nacho cheese doritos, it seems.
"as long as theta isn't driving. Let's get in."
He walks up to the dorite boate and climbs in. cheese dust gets on his hands and boots.
he looks around in the boat and notices there is something missing.
"this fucking chip boat doesn't have any oars."

"I...I think I have an idea."
She pulls out the chainsaw Hypnos had given her back at the tower.
"I've seen someone use this for the other boat, so I think this will work..."
She tries to find a way to set it up.
....She doesn't actually know how it works, though.

While holding the chainsaw, after a few seconds, a particular memory comes to mind all of a sudden.
It was when her, Hypnos, and Theta took their first boat ride together, across the murky waters to the clock tower.
The details of how the chainsaw was set up are quite plainly shown, and suddenly Medi knows just what she has to do to install the chainsaw.
Link Seth examines the chainsaw from nearby. "Where'd you get that? And why does the digital clock on it remind me of the one I used to have?" Why does it even have a digital clock on it at all? It's a chainsaw! Or at least it looks like a chainsaw? Looks alchemized or something.

Such a strange phenomenon, this was. Suddenly she knew how she could set the chainsaw up for the boat.
Medi can't help but quietly thank Hypnos for his gift.
"One of the other Seths gave it to me...He kind of helped me around for a little long while, before we found you...I was lucky enough to meet him before my dream collapsed, or else I'd have been lost in that city..."
After a short while, she finally finishes attaching the chainsaw to the boat.
"Pray that this doesn't go to ludicrous speed immediately..."
She starts to rev it up.

"Another Seth... Wait, your dream collapsed?" Link Seth seems very confused at nearly everything she mentioned.
The chainsaw takes a little while longer than expected to start, but after enough revving, it surely roars awake. With some work, the chainsaw begins to churn the black soda behind them.
The boat is pushed softly through the drink at a steady pace. It almost seems as if the chainsaw is holding itself back a bit. It's quite easy to steer with it while holding onto the handle.
The canal twists and turns down a curved corridor, mounds of lit candles here and there to light the way.

"Y...yes, my dream...A bubble almost like this one...It used to be the home for all the ghosts who were like me, kind of like the tower...I put my heart and soul into making it a haven for them...It wasn't perfect...and neither was life there...But...But...It was a place we could almost call home..."
Medi wistfully reminisces about her old home as they traverse through the river of softdrink, taking care not to bump into anything that may shake or sink the cheesy boat.
"I...never knew it would be destroyed while I was away from it...And when I said I used part of myself to make it...I really meant it. It was....something....I would rather forget...But that...that lead me here, so...I guess it's not all bad..."

Link Seth ponders and listens. "Oh shit, I'm sorry..."
There is a long pause. To think that she actually lost part of herself in such a disaster... it takes him a moment to finally ask another question.
"Did, the other kats, did they double die?"

"You don't have to apologize...The past is the past...and at least that I'm still here..."
Medi shakes her head in response to the question, "I don't believe so...I've been told that a close friend of mine had evacuated everyone as soon as the danger had been noticed...And I'm glad for that..."

"That's at least good to hear... it sounds like all sorts of crazy shit happens around here..." link Seth looks ahead as Medi steers the dorito boat along quite well.
Eventually, they reach the shore of another room, much like the one they embarked from, but clearly different. A much larger and certainly ornate door stands at the far end of the room.

Medi carefully docks the boat, eventually hopping off after she puts away the chainsaw.
She mutters to herself as she looks at what's ahead,
"I pray to some higher power up there that isn't a horrorterror that we're hopefully near the end...Lest we encounter more absurd shenanegans..."
