All my thoughts lead to one conclusion, those bodies were people who didnt escape the darkness, and were thrown into whatever room they were closest to, resulting in more bodies the hight you went.

I had a prickley pear.

Fair enough, though now I am inclined to believe we had a different kind of cactus.

Uhh. I have stepped on both legos and cactus. I can assure you, the cactus was worse.

You know what's worse? Stepping on a cactus barefoot.

Edit: also thorns. Thorns are really bad

Vincent is gonna be so proud
