Unexpectedly, the window opened without much trouble when Zero tried it. Hmm...curious. He would have guessed that Landel kept such things as tightly closed as possible, but apparently his guess was wrong. Oh well...this just made things easier for them. They could go out this way rather than back through that door, and hopefully they would get outside and not end up in a completely new place. Windows weren't the same as doors, after all.

X's voice filled the room as Zero mostly closed the window (to keep anything from coming in before they were ready to leave). It was a bit of a relief to hear that voice, to confirm its owner's continuing existence, but at the same time it was worrying when one could hear the obvious strain in it. He still refused to turn around, though, despite whatever concern came to mind. Footsteps could be heard now, so maybe X had been telling the truth and nothing more. He was just catching his breath, and he would be fine in a moment.

Better off than if Zero actually looked at him.

"...It looks like we can get outside from here." He opened the window up again in case X was looking this way. "There's nothing for us in here. We should keep moving."
