NIGHT 64: MAIN HALLWAY, 1-EAST

Scar continued through to the easternmost end of the hallway, finally reaching the door to the medical wing. Grumbling at the damn thing being locked, the Ishbalan bashed it a few times with his flashlight until it broke, and he pushed open the door somewhat cautiously.

As they made their way forward, Claude glanced over at Guy. "You haven't been over there, either, right?"

He didn't think so, especially since they spent their nights together more often than not, but it was probably better to check. The more information they could arm themselves with beforehand, the better.

"I haven't heard of any traps there, but I wouldn't be surprised if Landel set something up," he darkly added as he kept an eye out for the medical wing entrance. Now that they were passing the hallway containing a bunch of doctor offices, Claude figured it was close.

Neither Claude nor Anise seemed comfortable with the thought that they might need to draw attention to some sort of change in their own bodies, and Guy couldn't blame them for that. Turning into a monster was something even he had a hard time imagining, and he'd had his body controlled and re-purposed a few times before. That had been bad enough, so transforming into something else entirely just seemed unbearable.

When Claude directed a question at him, Guy glanced over and shook his head. "No, this'll be my first time." He was surprised that Anise had made it over here at all, but at least one of them had. It might make navigating a little easier.

They were getting closer to where he thought the door was, if he remembered right, but Guy was stopped short for a moment when he realized there were blood stains on the wall and the floor near said door. Like Claude had said, it seemed likely there was going to be some sort of trap in there.

He sent a wary look to both Anise and Claude before letting out a sigh. "Are we ready for this?"

Claude sounded about as uneasy as Anise felt. It was a little comforting to have someone who understood what she was going through... even if she would have preferred for none of her friends to be sick like that.

The blood around the door brought a frown to Anise’s face. Whatever clue was being kept back there, it wasn’t going to be easy to reach. When she looked up from the gruesome mess, however, she met Guy’s look with a nervous smile. “Yeah... I’m ready. We don’t have much choice but to go forward, right?” Both her and Claude’s lives depended on this. There was no turning back.
