You Decide to Let Her Steam For a While and Find Her Later

“We can’t just abandon Zoe,” Joe says. “Let’s explore and wait for her to calm down.”
You agree, and decide to follow a somewhat walkable-looking path. As you inch towards the top of the hill, it becomes apparent that you are now in a mountain range. And that you have no idea where you are.
“Well, this is great,” Joe says angrily. “What do you suggest now?”
You decide to climb the higher mountain; that way, you’ll be able to see all around you. As you reach the top of the higher mountain, you reach a ramp-like platform that will help you climb towards the top.
Just as you and Joe are about to start the desent upwards, a scream comes form above.
“Help!” It’s Zoe’s voice: and all at once, you realize that the mountain is smoking. It’s a volcano!

What will you do?

Abandon Zoe and save yourself
Try to save Zoe
Climb higher so you can see what is happening first.
