Author Notes:
She continues to have a bit of a breakdown, sobbing on your shoulder. Nurse-Mine, seeing that things have, uh... settled down a bit, wanders in to help you. She takes over hugging, comforting, and gently patting the bigger you, so you can explore ahead.
You sneak off, and continue down the hall--taking a quick peek into the door on the far right.
Inside is a room that appears to be an empty dead end, and... two more yous.
"We should've brought tools," says the you in the visor. "Or weapons. Knives. Knives are tools and weapons."
"How?," asks the you that's... your red? Or your... human acceptance of the concept of your red. It's a little vague.
"Meditation," Visor-Mine replies simply. "Psychological conditioning. Make us see our subconscious selves as always being prepared for something like this."
Red-Mine rolls her eyes. "We didn't know something like this was a thing, we couldn't have conditioned ourselves for it."
"We should've known," huffs Visor-Mine. "Should've tested it first, on a rat or something. Maybe built a small scale model of the Odin machine in Bunker A. What we definitely should have done was figure out how to maintain our blood powers as an imprint."
"It's..." Red-Mine sighs. "It's literally the blood. It's in the blood. The blood we don't have right now. We don't have blood."
"We could find a way around it," Visor-Mine replies, not even missing a beat. "If we'd sat on this a little longer, we could find a dozen ways around the blood problem. ...We shouldn't have rushed this. Needed a plan."
Red-Mine just shakes her head, throwing her hands up.
They seem to be inspecting the walls, possibly looking for an alternate way out of the room. The big, angry you that was stalking the hallway likely had them trapped in here.
If that's the same Red that Mine's been regularly talking to (she certainly has a similar level of sass), then at least she'll sort of be accustomed to receiving hugs.
She might get a kick out of the knowledge that Mine subdued the monster by being a sentimental idiot at it.
She seems to have a flower in her hair.
Anyway, try not to startle Fuse-Mine. This would be a bad time to accidentally trigger fire-powers.
And visualize yourself with a flower in your hair.
Let them know you're trying to... collect yourself, so to speak, by getting all of the yous together peacefully.
Anyway, let's follow tradition; greet, assess hostility & hug where applicable.
Then get prepared to cut through and enter the next barred skin-door.
EDIT: And just to keep a list:
main!Mine
kid!Mine
god!Mine
nurse!Mine
rage!Mine
visor!Mine
Red!Mine
EDIT x2: We should ask if we can borrow Red!Mine's flower to put in rage!Mine's hair.

Greet. Introduce ourselves, take them back to the other two with a brief explanation, then move forward to the next door.
If it is bioprinted can Thale sense the flowers? I know he is not currently looking for them, but this is a concern.
Maybe she is the representation of the perfeccionism and the great amount of ideas we as the public put in the mind of Mine, taking the amount of personality we absorved from Fuse since he is also a bit perfeccionist?
In whatever case... Scream. Scream while they don't know you are there. We can make a joke from time to time, and since they are us, I don't think they are going to take it too bad XD.
After that, explain that Rage!Mine is crying her heart out in the shoulder of Nurse!Mine.
Let's not do that.
