Revenge After Death

Taylor was surprised. He looked up at Zion.
Then, he looked down and softly said, "I'm sorry..."
He apologized.
But sometimes, an apology would mean nothing to the actual hurt that was caused.
If everyone had died on the 14th floor, Taylor would've been a selfish murderer.
Rachel reluctantly put the rope down.
Yasmin, who had a strong will to live, hurriedly grabbed the rope first. She looked at Michael nervously.
"Michael... You know I can't die."
"Yasmin works for Peter. He knows of the secret behind the Godmaker Project," Michael said. He glanced at me, waiting for my approval.
"Even if she dies today, I'm confident that we can still discover the truth," I said plainly.
"Yeah, we can figure it out," Steven agreed.
With her voice trembling, Yasmin said fearfully, "Stephany Larson... don't cross the line."
"I'm crossing the line?"
I laughed, looking down at Yasmin.
"Back when you baited Stephanie Carlson out, causing her to die at the hands of the killer, did you ever think that you were crossing the line?" Yasmin's expression became increasingly grim; she looked at Michael nervously, asking for help.
Rachel scoffed.
"It's karma. Did you imagine this day to come when you made Stephie die?"
Rachel grudgingly continued, "Taylor Barlowe, hurry on up. Otherwise, you can die with her."
Taylor came forward, but Yasmin was still holding the rope.
Since he was desperate to live, I expected Taylor to push Yasmin away so that he could climb up, but he didn't.
He looked at us with a conflicted expression.
Perhaps luck was not the only thing that helped Taylor get this far...
I wondered if the mastermind saw hope in him.
Suddenly, a robotic voice began to announce, "Beep! Automatic self-destruct device activated on 12th floor..."
Everyone tensed up immediately.
As the timer ended, cracks appeared across the floor, and the 12th floor began to collapse.
"Hurry and come up!" Zion and Eason shouted panickedly.
Amidst the panic, Taylor still let Yasmin go up first.
"Taylor!" Zion shouted.
Taylor fell into the wreckage. He started to bleed from his mouth as the rubble fell on him.
Teary-eyed, he looked at us and said in a choked-up voice, "I really just... wanted to live... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry... I just wanted to live..." He simply wanted to live.
"Grab this!"
After Yasmin was pulled up, Zion tossed the rope down. Taylor reached out as he cried. He caught the rope when the floor collapsed completely.
