But he had died... again. A person didn't end up in Lucifer's Cage and still be "alive" in the conventional sense; with that in mind, he couldn't imagine things would change all that much whether he was standing up or lying prone in bed. If the angels hadn't brought him back, if there was even a chance this was still the pit...

"Well, dead people don't need to worry about their health." That said, Adam turned back toward the stairs. His vision was playing tricks on him: the downward descent looked like a staircase leading into some dark, indecipherable tunnel, and the first step he took felt heavy and uncoordinated after being paused in one place for so long.

If he were being absolutely honest, Adam didn't feel all that safe on his feet, either, but that wasn't about to stop him. Doing nothing and waiting with bated breath for the other shoe to drop felt like the worst option he could choose.
