[From here]No time was wasted in this short stretch of hallway. Link had run across all of Hyrule Field. This hospital was quite small in comparison.
Praying that he wouldn't come across anything to slow him down, Link turned into the main hallways.

No door nearby this time. This time, there was only the whitewashed walls fading into the darkness, and despite himself Gabriel couldn't move for several seconds. Lucifer might say he didn't have much of an imagination--but he had enough of one, and he was feeling painfully human right now.
It was the lack of light. The quiet. The sound of his heartbeat had been fascinating earlier, but now it was unnerving. A distraction which put him in a cold sweat. Stepping into that darkness made him feel like he was plunging into an abyss from which there was no return. He'd done that once before, it definitely wasn't particularly a parallel he wanted to find.
The Archangel's fingers groped for the cross laying against his wrist, pulled it up into his palm, squeezed it hard enough to press the beads into his skin. "Though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for He is with me," he murmured, and took a step. And another. "His rod and His staff comfort me. He prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies."
Gabriel spoke quietly, but with confidence, that sort of vibrating assurance. The sound of his voice made his footsteps sound less alone, the length of the hall less interminable. "He will anoint my head with oil; my cup will overflow. Surely His goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life."
The jamb of a door interrupted the line of the wall to his right; the sign on it told him it was where he wanted to go. Gabriel smiled a little as he reached for the door-knob. "And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."
