Night 69: East Wing, Hall A (Second Floor)

Another nondescript hallway with doors that all looked the same gave Soushi little hope, but Castiel had insisted the room he was looking for was this way. And injuries withstanding, even if they didn't make it tonight, the route was simple enough he'd have no trouble repeating it.

"Do you know which one it is? Or shall we just start eliminating them as we go?" he asked, turning to Castiel.

This was the part of the journey where things became less clear. Hand-written maps were only so helpful, and Castiel hadn't had that much time to read it over. He frowned as he peered down the hall, staring at the rows of doors as if he could determine some divine truth if he looked at them hard enough.

But in the end, the truth was that he didn't know, and he would have to admit to that. "I'm not sure," he said. "I think that it was through one of the doors on the right, but we'll need to try them one-by-one." It was definitely a room that patients were capable of getting into, so they'd be able to bypass any doors that were locked impossibly tight, at least.

Castiel was shocked that they hadn't run into any kind of guard or monster thus far. Then again, this wasn't a well-traversed area, so that could be why. Nonetheless, he aimed his flashlight to all the dark corners in the area, keeping a careful eye out.

At least that narrowed their choices by about half. As he watched Castiel's light illuminate the hall, there couldn't have been more than a handful of doors. Odd, that the other nights had been so difficult only to reach their destination so easily tonight. For now, he'd take it as a stroke of good luck and try not to think about it too much.

"It's still much quicker than I would have found it," he admitted as he reached for the first door.

"Shall we get started?"
