Night 62: Main Hallway 2-West
[from here]
By the time he reached the top of the stairs, Klavier had a vague melody playing in the back of his head. It really would have been better to have something tangible to listen to. That way he wouldn't lose it as soon as he tried to focus more thoroughly on his surroundings. He stood, quiet and straining to listen for anything unusual in the darkness. Nothing.
He still hesitated in proceeding forward. If anything, the continued silence just made the entire thing feel more suspicious. It was difficult not to feel like one was walking right into a trap or an ambush. He briefly glanced behind him, back down the stairs, before moving forward. Again, he just needed to focus on what he was doing and where he was going. Don't get sidetracked.
The area he wanted to inspect was straight ahead.

There were a few ways they could go from here. In one direction, the hallway they were already in stretched onward to who-knows-where. In the other direction, it split off into another hallway and... some more doors, looked like. Kind of like the downstairs format, now that he thought about it. Maybe the prisoner rooms were both upstairs and downstairs? There were a lot of people here, after all. Thinking of it that way didn't make the hallway seem very interesting. They didn't go all the way up there just so they could find more beds and closets. They came to find answers! Or else something else interesting! So that didn't seem like the place to go.
His attention was pulled away from the hall around him and back toward Celty when she asked that question. The response was an immediate, big and confident smile.
"Yup! We're going this way!" he said, pointing toward the expanse of hallway stretching to their right. And sure enough, he went that way.
