[Ellie's been in situations like this before. Okay, maybe not exactly the same. But she's got experience in dealing with crazy shit like this. She's managed to run and jump over onto stable ground, but there's another kid here that isn't as lucky. Going for an adult is out of the question. Like she trusts them to help. And in the time it takes to find someone, he could fall. It's up to her to save him.]
Hey, just keep holding on, all right? I'll get you.
[There's a flimsy metal beam that's curved in on itself. It's right nearby where he is, and she's light enough she can walk out on it. It may not support both their weight but the risk is worth it.
Her backpack is tossed to the side and she hurries over to him. Her arms outstretch as she walks out on the broken floor beam, and she crouches about halfway across. She gets on her stomach and then reaches for him, making sure she's steady before she grabs at his hand. Ellie is small, but a hell of a lot stronger than she looks.]

I got you, okay? You're safe. I...think.
