NIGHT 54: M21-30 HALLWAY

[ from here ]

It took her a moment when she turned down the men's hallway to skim the area with her flashlight. This was the part where she got confused, the muscle memory not really carrying her the whole way. He'd given her directions once, but that felt like a lifetime ago now that she actually needed to put them into practice without Bella attached to her hip. Being alone made it harder, for some reason. She hoped Bella was having more luck than she was at getting to … wherever.

On her left, the single door of the bathroom that she suspected was the same as the women's facilities, and on her right four hallways. Peter's was … she scrutinized. Second in from the door? It sounded about right. If her room was F34 and it was the closest to the door, 24 should be one row further in. So, she hung a right and headed down the hallway.

Her flashlight beam checked the numbers on the doors as she headed down. 30 … 29 … the numbers were counting downwards, which was a good sign that this was the right hallway to get her to M24.

Roxas had been hoping since he heard about the institute's activities that they would never reach close to him. Hope didn't stop or slow a troupe of soldiers from dragging Neku out of their room before the first announcement rang through the room. The Nobody had no time to react outside of standing up defensively, which made the soldiers turn to him and glare. What could he do? The men had been watching him, waiting for him to try something. The guns they carried... Roxas hated looking at them. Something about them just made him grow cold.

By the time the door had clicked open, Roxas was storming out the door, the black leather of the Organization coat sweeping behind him. One hand gripped his pipe, the other his flashlight, installed with new batteries and as strong as a light he could create himself.

Sure, the Nobody didn't know Neku all that well. Their dinners were mostly either curt conversations or a comfortable silence, and they had never spent any time outside of dinner together. That didn't mean he deserved whatever the institute was doing to him. Roxas wasn't going to just... ignore it! He couldn't. But he couldn't leave Goku, either. He couldn't let Sora down on that end, and Goku might get in trouble.

A moment of indecision froze him right outside his door. What should he do...?

Goku first. Roxas could use the help. This was more important than exploring or finding items or something.
