"Alright..." Seth answers, not entirely convinced. Possibly related to their luck so far. He doesn't exactly trust things to be easy. But. They're halfway up the stairs to the next level now, they must be.
And then there's another ominous sound from above, like an intermittent rumbling getting louder each time. God, it better not be water rushing down the stairs, because if it is, they're definitely both dead, unless Seth can manage to throw them through the wall again. And considering how exhausted he currently is, he's not sure his reflexes are good enough, and there's no saying what they'd actually land on on the other side, and how badly it would hurt them.
And then the sound of rocks crashing down - because that is definitely what it is, he realises suddenly - becomes much louder, and he can see the ceiling above them cracking and breaking as if in slow motion, but it can't have taken more than a second.
A second which is enough for him to push Daniel backwards and out of the way, but not move away himself as the steps in front of them break and fall away under the weight of stone and concrete debris landing on top of them, and suddenly there is nothing for Seth to stand on.
All that's going through his mind at the moment is swearwords and oh god I'm going to die as he somehow finds himself hanging off the edge, clinging desperately to the steps with muscles that no longer have strength in them.
