An Exit

In the midst of the dungeon, two sinners found themselves walking through dimensions, seemingly going through endless paths.
They felt like they had been walking for hours.
All dungeons lead to an exit, but finding it without the Manager behind them was difficult.
Most certainly, this might up ended up being a mistake.
Mischief Sinner #28
I knew this was a bad idea!
They exclaimed aloud, and Kiya turns his head with a look of distress.
Having gone through recent battles did not help their case. Both of them were just barely holding on.
Kiya Sinner #25
What do you mean you knew?! You were the one who suggested we go alone!
Mischief Sinner #28
That don't mean you gotta listen to me!
The two sinners, being friends but often a disaster together, were causing a commotion. So much that something—someone—enters through a rift in the distance without either of them noticing.
Taking a few steps, the abnormality watches them intently.
Wayward Passenger ???
.....
Mischief places their weapon on their shoulders, trying to defend himself against Kiya's words. When it spots the creature, his eyes widen and they begin to stutter.
Kiya Sinner #25
I just don't get it! This is a big deal, what if the Manager reprimands us for our behavior?
Mischief Sinner #28
Uh, Kiya...?
Kiya Sinner #25
We could die and it'd take days for the others to even search our bodies. We need to find our way out, or...or...
Mischief Sinner #28
Alright, alright! Listen. Don't do it too fast but there's a guy behind you.
Kiya Sinner #25
Is it a guy that won't kill us?
He turns around, only to see that the Wayward Passenger was only inches away from his body. Kiya stumbles back, biting his lip so as not to yell.
Being face to face with something that could easily overpower them both at their current state was troubling.
Mischief Sinner #28
...I dunno! I've never dealt with it myself.
Kiya Sinner #25
That's the Wayward Passenger. And it's staring at us. Is this how we die? This is how we're gonna die.
Mischief Sinner #28
Soooo...how exactly is this gonna work? We gonna fight back? Is it gonna slash us? Are you gonna attack us, Mister Hotdog?
Kiya Sinner #25
D-Don't insult it!
Mischief Sinner #28
I was not insulting it!
Kiya Sinner #25
Who uses "hotdog" as a compliment?!
Before the two sinners start arguing any longer, the Wayward Passenger begins nudging them, as if wanting to lead.
Mischief Sinner #28
Whoa, whoa! You gonna fight?! You wanna make this difficult?!
Kiya Sinner #25
Can you PLEASE stop saying things that could egg it on?! Whoa-!
Swiftly, as if annoyed, the abnormality began dragging them further and further. Its tendrils wrap around their bodies tightly, but not so much that it ends up hurting.
Then, once it reaches its intended destination, it places the two down and points at a door.
The exit.
Wayward Passenger ???
.....
Mischief Sinner #28
Oh.
Kiya Sinner #25
Oh.
Mischief Sinner #28
Thank...you? Thank you! For not killing us, yeah!
Kiya Sinner #25
Yes...thank you.
Now embarrassed, Mischief takes Kiya by the hand, and the two of them leave together.
Sure enough, the other sinners were waiting at the other side of the door, and they were scolded for straying from their path.
