NIGHT 65: MEDICAL WING HALL

[From here]

Link moved cautiously but quickly through the medical wing, which had somehow been cleared of last night's stench of blood. It was like the building had reset itself. There must have been powerful magic at work, here.

Although the tension in the air was thick, Link came across nothing as he moved through the narrow hallways, following the path to the X-Ray Room. It seemed like much longer than a day since he had been here, but he wasn't going to let that tire him out. The task at hand was too important to complain about being tired.

As expected, the room in question was once again locked. Breaking through the door, Link pushed his way into the X-Ray room for the second night in a row.

That sounded just fine to Luke. When Anise beckoned them on, the young man nodded and followed after her, but not before one last look back at Guy and Claude. "Be careful!" he called to them, hoping they wouldn't really need to be careful tonight. It would be a wonderful change of pace if everything went according to plan. Hey, he could dream!

Their closest room was just as Anise had said: Operating Room and Observation. Gee, that didn't sound ominous at all! But skipping a room just because he didn't like the name was not a good strategy. His friend was right, they needed to tackle this door by door as they gathered up supplies. "Alright, let's do it..." Taking the lead, the replica held his sword tight to waist before opening the door as quietly as possible.

When it seemed that everyone was in agreement, Anise and Luke didn't hesitate to head off on their own supply hunt. Guy nodded to Luke when his friend told them to be careful. "Same to you," he said as he watched the pair disappear into one of the nearby doors.

Which left Guy with Claude. He turned toward the other man for a moment, looking him over. While he still looked ill, there was no sign that anything had worsened or that Claude was struggling with some creature that was trying to work its way to the surface. So it seemed like they were safe -- or as safe as they could be -- for the moment.

"Let's go," he said as he retraced their steps from the night before. While they had all been in quite the panic, Guy still remembered where the X-Ray room had been located. He tried not to think too hard on the horrible sight they'd seen, that girl being eaten, as he stepped through the door.
