Night 67: Greenhouse Yard

Why did he suddenly get dizzy, and why did it disappear just as suddenly once he completed his step? Was he getting sick? Didn't he just get a shot for that? Ryusei reached up to rub his forehead as he took a few more steps into the room, but it was that moment that he realized that this was the wrong room. It wasn't even a 'room' at all.

Ryusei shone his light around, but he didn't even recognize this place. He'd been sure it had been the right door; he didn't make this kind of mistake. He turned to Ryuugamine. "Where are we? I thought I had the right door."

There was something there that Sakuta really didn't want to talk about it, and Mikado wasn't going to ask any more questions. The other might give it away as they went--sometimes when something was held that tightly, it had to come out one way or the other. Sakuta opened the door, and Mikado moved to fol--

His head spun suddenly, stomach reeling as his vision blurred. He moved a hand to his eyes, pressing there. What had just...?

--Wait. Wait.

His hand dropped from his head as he gaped around their settings. This was... definitely not where that door led. He knew that much. "I... That was..." He blinked a few times, then focused on Sakuta. "That door definitely doesn't lead out here."

Where was this? It was hard to tell in the dark, but maybe by the greenhouse? Mikado squinted into the gloom. "...Um. Maybe it's a mistake. We could just try going back." Something that sounded like logic, but was a bit too far to the left. Either way. Mikado glanced to the low wall that sounded the yard and swallowed. None of Snow's 'monsters' had appeared yet at least.

Ryuugamine didn't know, either. Warning flag number one. For what, Ryusei didn't know, but as Ryuugamine had also headed straight for the door that led outside and had seemed just as certain that they'd had the right door, Ryusei had to conclude that it wasn't anything Ryuugamine was doing. Not that Ryusei would confront him yet even if it was. Ryusei was aware of his own current mood and how it was making him perceive everything right now and he couldn't afford to indulge in it.

"Good idea." He opened the door (had Ryuugamine closed it?) and stepped back through.
