[Leo just barely caught what the Sister said to Accelerator, and it occurs to him for the first time that these are all clones. Even though the first one said a number, some of the others have said numbers, he just assumed they were all visions of the same girl.
A messed up thing to learn, but it’s not slowing him down!
He continues pulling them forward, unaware of the red searchlight, even as it sweeps dangerously close to their position. Leo doesn’t have the coordination or energy or desire to lift the goggles right now, so his awareness of the nightmare is limited mainly to his other senses. Which, really? More than enough.
Donnie speaks up, and Leo feels just a little better hearing him, even if he sounds… not great.]
We’re… fifteen feet from the other wall.
[Donnie said the room is forty-five feet before, and they had covered ten feet when they hit the pool of blood. So they’ve covered twenty feet since then. He almost laughs - it feels like it’s been miles and miles.
Still… can’t lost hope. Look on the bright side!]
We’ve made it two thirds of the way there, so, no problem right?
[The Sisters are still saying things right in his ear, now berating him for letting Mikey and Donnie get separated from him in the tunnel under Metro Tower, now berating him for leaving Gram-Gram behind, now berating him for lying to his brothers about the Maze of Death (oh come on, he was fourteen). Some of the things are meant more for Donnie than him, he thinks, and he tries to filter those out as much as he can.
He pushes forward another step (fourteen feet), then kicks at a Sister in front of him so he can move again (thirteen feet). The searchlight passes by just to the left of them.]
