Answer: You’re both screwed/you’re both in danger.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are both in a vulnerable position, and there is very little chance that either of you are going to make it out. Unless you failed and whatever bad thing has happened already, then you’re dead :/

The expression “we are both in our graves” refers to the idea that we both are in trouble.

When reading this sentence, saying “we are in our graves” is the equivalent of saying we’re dead, because that’s where some deceased people are buried. The association of humans being dead while alive indicates a situation in which the humans are in trouble, primarily for a poor decision made.
