>Almost; now that you're closer, you can see it's slightly diagonal to the left.
>Yes, they are parallel to the others in terms of height
>That will be hard to tell. Having slowed down as you did, the oncoming arc has had time to close in on you.

>You pick up speed, but the arc is still coming , rushing up from ahead and to the left, coming between the lines ahead. You won't be able to outrun it.

>No. This wasn't about the arc at all. It was about the straight lines you dodged around originally that make up the main framework of this mess. They could be thought of as bars, but it was a bad synonym.
>There is some small space between the bullets that make up the arcs, but it would be very foolhardy to try and go through them.
