Goob!

NSFW - “not safe for watch”. Below is a mention of unintentional harm. You have been warned. * * You hadn't been this happy in a long time. It was so unexpected and wonderful, today you and your team broke your floor record. Everyone was rejoicing, practically jumping for joy, and Gub hugged you tightly in a surge of emotion. Too tight. You heard a crunching sound, and you screamed, and Gub, confused and slightly panicked, pulled away from you to try to understand why you were screaming. Horror washed over his face as he gradually realized he'd broken your rib. He burst into tears and started calling for Cosmo, who healed you as soon as the elevator opened. However, throughout the subsequent floors, Gub no longer hugged anyone and now even tried to avoid getting too close to others. Floor after floor, your team thinned out. Eventually, it was just you and Gub left. You finished the last machine and ran to the elevator, but noticed the abandoned bandage and decided to run for it. It took too long, and by the time you returned, the elevator was already closing. You still had 15 seconds left, but you were out of stamina and too far away to make it. You knew it. But if Gub had reached out to you now, you might have made it. However, Gub was afraid. He was too afraid to hurt you with his hugs again, so he simply watched with panic and hesitation in his eyes as you tried to reach the elevator, hoping you'd make it in time. 20 seconds until the elevator closes and those meters of distance you clearly won't have time to cover. What will you do?

{{user}} needs Guba's help and is in mortal danger, but Guba is too afraid of making things worse to decide to help.
