She started to say something, then stopped.

She pulled out of the hug and whirled around, holding out her wrists with the cuffs on them.

"Break these. Whatever you did before, figure it out and break these," she said, sounding slightly panicked.

She shivered.

“I— I don’t know if I can,” he said helplessly, holding out his own cuffs. 

Rose raised her head again, eyes worried. “Bat, don’t. She’s a Narrator— I know that doesn’t mean anything to you right now, but it does when we’re down here. Don’t even try. She could rip this place apart if she really tried to, probably! She could… she could…” she shivered, eyes glazing. She leaned her head against the wall behind her. “Never mind. Try it. They’re not the same people anymore anyway.”

Bat glanced between them, torn. “I…”

"Bat," Tam said, putting her hands on his shoulders and turning him away from the Rose on the floor. "Look at me. Just try to figure out how to break them. See if you can. Please."

Then she turned to the Rose in the cell. "What's going on?"

Okayyyy goodnight

“I’ll try,” he whispered. 

She took a shuddering breath, wiping away fresh tears on her cheeks. “I got out of the ropes when you left me in the jungle. I knew they were watching my location, and I thought they’d come for me soon, because the travel thing they gave me was moving without doing it itself— but they didn’t come for days, and when they did, it was just one. She was a woman I've never seen before or since— her, probably— and she fixed my tattoos, but… but it was wrong. There’s something in them that shouldn’t be. There’s something… something… everyone else is wrong. They’re acting strange. And I think I’m going crazy, and then she turned into me and locked me down here, and she turned half my hair to dust and told me to behave…” She whimpered and dropped her head back onto her knees. 

“Oh, gosh,” Bat whispered. 

They were all gonna die.

THEY WERE ALL GONNA DIE. 

Those thoughts sent him into a panic attack. He curled up in the corner of the cell and covered his face with his hands.

"Yes." Desolation mused, "It'd be far better to step through the Narrative here, the structure is rather far away from here."

Desolation waited to see what Rebus' would do.

Rebus (prime) nods. “Yes. Unfortunately, I cannot do that by myself.” He waves a hand and a small rod materializes from the air, constructed by nanomachines. It flies off at an impressive speed.

She clapped the bracelets on, and did the same for Cricket @Ookla the Irreplaceable. Then she placed her hand on Bat’s shoulder and led everyone down to a literal dungeon. 

Bat hadn’t known they had a dungeon. He shivered. 

He frowned. "You realize these aren't going to do anything, right?" he said to nobody in particular.

Cricket crouched beside him. "Hey, hey, we're gonna be fine. These cuffs shouldn't be too hard to get off,  and if they try to hurt either of you.." he smiled grimly. "they won't."

I was under the impression that Ennullers could Ennull each other too, right? So the cuffs should work on Cricket too. 

Bat pressed his hands against his eyes, trying desperately not to cry. Stop being an idiot and do something useful. Break something. Do something. 

He curled up tighter and decided that was enough for now.

If only Bat had a teleporter… maybe they confiscated it, but it would still shock anyone who tried to touch it. 
Also, either I’m paranoid or you’re doing some great foreshadowing.

yah, but Cricket could probably break the cuffs pretty easily if he's angry enough.

"Hey, Bat, calm. We'll find a way out of here. For now, we just need to think."

Kraumuyotgrilulpt felt a disturbance. His enemy was gaining power. Every moment the Worldbreaker was here, he got stronger. Kraumuyotgrilulpt felt great fear, stronger than ever before.

"I'm immortal... I think. That's what I was told, at least."

Sain cocked his head. “Well that’s interesting. Shatterer.” The last is in a mock stern voice.

Tam looked at Bat sadly and sat down next to him, putting an arm around his shoulder.

Hey, she said softly. It's gonna be okay.

“All of them,” she whispered, “that she’s tattooed since she got here.”

Bat took a deep, shuddery breath. He wasn’t gonna cry, not in front of Tam and Cricket. He wasn’t gonna—

He started crying.
